They defederated with us? Dumb question but why? Honestly I think we'll end up isolated,

I'm also on the fediverse that is a plemora instance. I'm not going to give you the name.

But That instance has a FUCK ton of racists, say some pretty fucked up shit, the word N***r they throw that shit around like glitter, fucking hate women talk about them in an atrocious way, praise hitler and hate jews, transphobic hate gays etc

There is NONE of that here on exploding heads.

The reason why I use that instance is because I like to troll and talk shit to people and i can do that there without worrying about being banned. Those type of people are fun to argue with or they engage and joke back with me and we make fun of eachother. Which is what I like. That's the purpose I use it for. I don't agree with their line of thinking, but what am I gunna do? Shame them into changing their mind? ๐Ÿคฃ

I ignore it and use it for my benefit.

All this to say

We are only getting defederated because they don't like what we post and don't like us because we are on the right. I have seen none of what I described in the example I used here on exploding heads.

This proves to me its a power move and yet ANOTHER act of censorship.

That's why I wasn't really digging the idea of federation. Everyone tries to make it sound like it's a good thing but in the end everybody can def Federate with you and then you're by yourself and you can't see anything from anywhere else. I don't see how that's a plus side

It does end up being worse in practice because defederation is used as some sort of virtue signal. In real life walls are expensive, difficult to erect and there is always a group of people trying to take it down. In the fediverse walls are easier than having a polite disagreement. Admins don't understand the issues and will usually cave to the loudest rather than the correct voices. I'm hopeful nostr will address these issues over the next two years.
