I know my personal persuasion to the defederation question and knowing I’m biased, kept it to myself. It’s their instance and they must know they run the risk of other instances defederating because of their choices. I did however, post my personal feels and left it at that for a reason, but since you require that information, why not? Because I was actually enjoying not having this instance becoming another *eddit and *eta so soon. I like general tone and generally more thoughtful and thought provoking conversations here. Yes, I’m here for self-expression, and I like learning beyond my own nation’s narrative.

Why is it gross? They’re posting things on their own server as a service to users who want it. They’re not being dishonest or deceitful about it.

I question how many users actually want it, and want it that way.
On the other side, it annoys other people so much they consider defederation, beyond blocking.
Yes, they have the right to do what they want on their server alright. I still think one should be mindful of your own impact on society.
I guess in this case I’d like it to be opt-in. Like an hourly newsletter. Technically cool to offer it, unless it’s opt-out. But Lemmy doesn’t work that way, right?

Yes, I’m here for self-expression, and I like learning beyond my own nation’s narrative, and - I’m here for the memes, too. Just not so repetitively that that consumes most of the time I spend here; there are other places for that.
