My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".
Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:
Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right Lemmygrad Exploding Heads Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
The thing is that from what I can see they are not. If your instance doesn't defederate from let's say exploding heads or hexbear then people start with shaming you for that first and then defederating from your instance. So in this way no, they seem not allowed to decide who they talk to.
Well if you regularly hang out with Nazis, I wouldn't want to hang out with you. That's life
