Great and if they retreat further and further into Nazi/Pedo instances instead of engaging with the criticism and condemnation of their views and actions then that just curates for us a list of people that need to be excised from society at large. Online or otherwise.
This creates a list of people that should be placed in reeducation programs post-revolution. I don’t see a problem with it.

This thread is about lemm.ee, the instance your account is on, defederating from a Nazi pedo instance. That means not having them in your corner of the internet. Why are you arguing against this?

I’m not lol just wanted to have a conversation about the topic because the “free speech except these people” viewpoint requires some objective point of reference for what’s acceptable.
It’s fairly obvious to 99% of people when it’s things like Nazis and pedos but it’s not always as clearcut with more controversial topics
Lemmy instances having their own rules and defederating from those they don’t like seems like the best solution provided there are enough of them that users can jump ship if they don’t like the way they’re run

Okay o’ wise liberal of the lake. What are these “controversial topics”?
Please enlighten us and get to the fucking point.

Furries, lot of people don’t like them but also don’t think they should be globally silenced unless they are actual zoophiles
People using words other people don’t like that aren’t necessarily used in a hateful way, some people don’t want to see that some don’t care.
Was on a gmod server before that had a total free speech rule where people would say horrendous shit to be edgy but one day they banned one slur for one group of people specifically which felt kinda weird
Hexbears. A lot of people call for you guys to get defederated, but have seen a few hexbears be genuinely nice and helpful. I’m sure you can see my point with that one

Pedophilia and Nazi shit are not acceptable. How fucking hard is that to understand?

Human welfare as decided by the humans in question. If we agree that we would overall benefit from Nazis being cast out, then that is all that is needed to cast them out.

it extremely doesn’t. communities have standards – they get to decide.
I’d extremely like to know what more controversial topics you have in mind blob-no-thoughts
