I am a proud member of lemmy.ca (and lemmy.world) and let me tell you I have no idea what rammy.site is not the other one that was defederared from.
What I will tell you, as a left leaning person, is nothing of value is gained from crying wolf every time a person or people disagree with your beliefs even, and let me be perfectly clear even if your beliefs are the better ones.
Op. Step away from the keyboard and from Lemmy and get some fresh air.
No, he values free speech even if he doesn't agree with what is spoken.
Defederation is not censorship. The chuds over at remmy can continue to be chuds, and anyone interested in being a chud can go find them there. No reason for Lemmy.world to allow their garbage to spread over here.
It literally is...
..
Like that's the whole point of defederating them..
What do you people think censorship is? ๐ ๐คฃ
What do you think censorship is?
If I run a website, do I have to show the content of other websites to my users? If I stop showing another website's content to my users, am I censoring that website? No, I'm just not platforming reactionary garbage.
It literally is not. The levenshtein distance is 9.
Even ignoring any literal aspects, it isnt semantically either, since one means being censored from expressing an opinion, the other means opting not to listen to the opinion expressed. Censorship is restricting the freedom of the speaker, defederation is the listener exercising their freedom.
