Comment on We should defederate lemmy.ml

The admins of that instance are pretty blatantly disregarding their own rules in order to push their agenda. If that shouldn’t be grounds for defederation, I don’t know what should.
I personally don’t think staff of a community or instance choosing how they administrate posts there is a solid grounds for defederation, nor do I think defederation is a useful response.
If you find their moderation and staff intolerable (and fwiw I also think some of those bans are poorly justified), I recommend you block those communities or their instance from your account. But I don’t think blocking their users from contributing here and blocking us from contributing there is appropriate.

The problem is that there’s no incentive for anyone to create or use similar communities on other instances if the one on ML is currently the biggest. The more people defederate ML the better the chance that an AskLemmy or similar community can actually be successful on another instance. Somewhere that criticism of authoritarianism doesn’t get you banned.

I got banned from politics @ .world for saying that the Uyghur genocide is made up and not even Radio Free Asia or Adrian Zenz have managed to make up any evidence for the past 3 years, while the instance is full of people denying the explicitly graphic genocide in Gaza. Please explain to me how .ml is more authoritarian than that

Lmao. You deserved that ban.
There is debate whether the human rights abuses against Uyghurs is genocide or not. But there is clear evidence of abhorrent abuses and genocidal tendencies.
