Comment on Please Consider Defederating from rammy.site
oolong@lemmy.world 1 year agoDefederation is not censorship. The chuds over at remmy can continue to be chuds, and anyone interested in being a chud can go find them there. No reason for Lemmy.world to allow their garbage to spread over here.

What do you think censorship is?
If I run a website, do I have to show the content of other websites to my users? If I stop showing another website’s content to my users, am I censoring that website? No, I’m just not platforming reactionary garbage.

It literally is not. The levenshtein distance is 9.
Even ignoring any literal aspects, it isnt semantically either, since one means being censored from expressing an opinion, the other means opting not to listen to the opinion expressed. Censorship is restricting the freedom of the speaker, defederation is the listener exercising their freedom.
