    No, it’s textbook censorship.

    Just because it’s censoring something you want censored doesn’t mean it’s not censorship.

    It’s sad this has to be spelled out for so many of you, but I really don’t expect more considering the world you’re growing up in.

      How is defederating not censorship? The solution is to make your own instance and control your own federated instances, but that’s partly unrealistic for everyone to run their own instances. So Fediverse inherently promotes censorship? But the same solution exists with Reddit. It’s not an administrator rule, it’s a sub rule. If you don’t like the rule, you can make a sub and allow the links, the exact same as the solution for federating your chosen interests. It just seems hypocritical to shout “viva la fediverse” when the exact same issue is here, and it’s technically one of the built in features.

      Also, that’s insane the level of personal attacks you’re levying because I disagree, but go off my guy. Crazy you’re not posting from your own instance, lest something get defederated and censored. But what do I know? The world I am growing up in (as an adult like…2x over) clearly doesn’t show it.

            I’m not deciding for other people what they get to see.

            Sorry this has to be spelled out for you, but I don’t expect more at this point.

                  Nobody is deciding what other people get to see, censoring would do that. A boycott is when people decide not to do/… something. Just like you ignoring someones messages.

                    The mods on these subreddits are getting to decide what their users get to see.

                    It’s not a boycott. Boycotting would be refusing to use the service at all.

                    Gonna block you now because this shouldn’t have to be spelled out for you.
