Yesterday, lemmy.blahaj.zone announced their defederation from lemmynsfw.com and argued that lemmynsfw don’t care enough about CSAM.

Although I think lemmynsfw is right about this, that’s not the point. I believe lemmy.blahaj.zone is an instance caught in the positivity echo chamber (to put it more roughly, circle jerk).
You can never interact negatively with their decisions or thoughts. Downvotes disabled. Admin literally removing any opposing view while keeping positive ones.

Admin removed the comment while keeping reply of it and commenting with Exactly this. Dear friend, we don’t know the main comment so how can we agree any of them?
IDK. I think it is very annoying for an instance built on diversity to have such reactions. Is it just me thinking like that? Am I the stupid one here?
Note: Posting this here so admins won’t be able to remove.
Edit: I guess I should add this. IDC should they defederate or not. I just don’t liked their behaviour.
You’re stirring the pot. The conversation is over. It’s their instance and they can do what they want.
They can do whatever they want. I’m not critising that part. But removing opposing comments? What?
shrug Part of doing what they want is moderating how they want.
That’s the beauty of federation - if you disagree with an how instance’s admins do things, you can just use a different one and block their communities. Though we’re still missing the option to block an entire instance rather than just specific communities, hoping that feature gets added soon.
So I am supposed to ignore whole situation. What about not doing that? Like if I don’t like the behaviour and want to express myself?
This is not their instance and I am writing what I want. If you don’t like my criticism, you can leave the post lol
They aren’t removing opposing comments. They are removing comments from other instances as it’s a meta post about their instance. Opposing comments from their own instance have not been removed.
If you aren’t on their instance your opinions aren’t relevant and this doesn’t affect you.
