  • Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see “following” as an endorsement at all. To me, it’s an incredibly passive action which affects nothing but a near-meaningless internet number and the content which shows up in your feed. For example, I follow over 3000 accounts on one of my social media profiles. Do my views need to perfectly align with every single one of those? When does it become not okay to follow someone?

    My point is, people can follow a page for a multitude of reasons. I follow several online accounts and politicians specifically because I disagree with the content they post. I personally think it’s better to know what your enemy is up to rather than to stick your head in the sand and pretend they don’t exist. I would hope that doesn’t make me a bad person, but there are many people online who apparently think otherwise 🤷







  • Ah, the good ol’ ‘administrator discretion’. Seems like a classic case of power-tripping site admins doubling down on their opinion while disregarding any notion that they may be in the wrong. Can’t say I’m surprised - it was only a matter of time before we saw this kind of behavior in the threadiverse.

    Regardless of how you may feel about NSFW content on Lemmy, this is a huge red flag for lemmy.blahaj.zone, and I would advise against people joining that instance purely based on the admins’ apparent inability to properly investigate or understand the content that they federate with. Hopefully they can clarify their rules in the near future and justify why exactly this defederation happened, or reverse their decision, swallow a little bit of pride, and admit they were in the wrong.

    EDIT: More admin correspondence can be found here.

    Very ‘my way or the highway’ behavior from the blahaj.zone admins. Really not a good look.
