So what’s your stance on CSAM? Free speech absolutism says even illegal content shouldn’t be taken down - that’s what absolutism means.

I’m a bit late to this discussion, but I needed to get my first taste of political censorship on Lemmy first.
My experience was with the “hexbear.net” instance (former Chapo’s Trap House subreddit) which is currently federated with “lemm.ee”.
It shows up nicely in the feed, but if you go there to discuss, you get banned in a moment for stating commonly accepted facts because you’re “reactionary” - Wikipedia is also reactionary, as well as mainstream news - while users praising dictatorial regimes get upvoted and aren’t getting moderated.
Complete echo chamber. At such servers, there’s also no obvious recourse to get a ban or deletion reversed.
I would avoid federation with such places.

Which is why I freakin’ love this instance!

PLEASE for the love of god defederate from Hexbear again. They serve no positive purpose.
Bloomcole@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Their posts are infinitely better than the mostly mainstream garbage.
And no right-wing naggers thinking they are the internet police that decides what everyone can see when they can just block it.
Go find yourself an echo chamber and stay there.Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Lemm.ee never defederated hexbear.
If you want instance who defederate them, there is lemmy.ca, sopuli.xyz and sh.itjust.works
JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Then were they defederated from us? I didn’t see any of their horrible users for ages, even before they “went down”. This is the primary account/instance I’ve used and only now after like a full year am I seeing their posts again.

Ia there any list of blocked communities?
UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I think this is a great way to go about things. Thanks for all of your work!

Thanks, I need to change accounts anyway and I will move to lemm.ee I think :) The policy sounds good to me.
Anon518@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
Nice policy. I chose shitjustworks because I saw here github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances that it has fewer blocks than lemm.ee.

Have we as users already given up on self-curation via blocks and filters? It seems an essential consideration for the design of this platform.
The recent wave of posts add nothing new to the discussion that I can tell. Maybe we need a sidebar link to help remind people of the instance federation principles, and perhaps help guide them toward use of the features Lemmy provides?
I appreciate the agnosticism. Preserving federation should never be considered as indicative of any position held by the instance, it’s just what’s best for the network.
I don’t have much to add to the local community but have been really pleased that I’m able to interact with most other instances from this one and plan to donate when I can.
