Yeah, it's bad. I'll probably be looking into hosting my own kbin instance on principle soon.

So only certain bigots count, got it.

The feeling of ownership, of oh I can go host an instance at home and knowing that you aren't at the whim of corporate admins or a company's poor fortune, is so incredibly cool. I really hope more decentralized/selfhostable alternatives to major services start to take off.

lemmy.ml has tankies on it among normal discussion, but it allows the genocide-denying tankies, therefore we should defederate from lemmy.ml too right? Very sound logic.

In other news, VPN services have increased sales by 200%

Even on the instance you're talking about nobody said that, but okay. Interesting trend to put violent extremist words into people's mouths and then call them violent extremists.

Oooh, very nice. Any recommendations for cutting XPS foam without taking up too much space? I'd love to make some bricks like this but don't necessarily want a full-sized hot wire table (or to pay 20x as much for the same amount of foam pre-cut on etsy, etc).

Every censorship-enjoyer loves talking about the Paradox of Tolerance. Here's the part Popper said that they like to gloss over:

I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.

At that point though again, why don't you just go to a more heavily moderated instance (which there are plenty of) rather than demand heavier moderation on this instance? Also, wanting a more relaxed standpoint on defederation, I can't see him wanting to move to a server that's likely to be heavily defederated by other instances itself.
