Yeah they blocked us. We can't censor like they want us to. Their federation terms of service bans words like gay, retard, and they ban anyone saying vaccines aren't the most effective medication and therapy no exceptions ever.
While I want people of any race, sexuality, religion or lifestyle as a user, the freedom to communicate freely with what ever language a poster or commenter feels needed is central to the experience I hosted wolfballs for.
You can make an account with them or one of their other federated instances. Lemmur is pretty good at showing multiple instances. I'm making a new app that should be ready this year sometime too.

Thanks for the explanation! I love your take on the situation. And even though I don't agree with lemmy.ml's stance I think it's nice that they're allowed to run their site however they want, too. I just found out about these federated services recently and they're so exciting. It feels like maybe, if we all spread the word and participate, maybe we'll get some semblance of old-internet culture back. The monolithic service model is awful and I can't wait to see it go.
