MODERATORS
ha, that content is remote content, even if its cached locally.
Yes? I don’t understand what you’re saying.
youre upset that a remote instance can police its own content. but youre confused why your local copy of their data gets modded.. you just dont like the fact that a community can police itself and that that moderation flows to remote copies of their community.
if you really want to circumvent this, you would spin up your own instance and prevent federated moderation. but you have to admit that youre ignoring the wishes of that remote community to moderate their content.
e. now that i think about it, if you get banned at the instance level, well, youre SOL. because they are rejecting you/your addition to their content.
Please re read the original post and my comments. That’s not what I am saying.
I’m saying that ideally moderation SHOULD be handled by the remote instance that hosts the community, and that the local instance should faithfully reflect it without censoring it.
If you're on an instance with strong moderation and that is not what you want, maybe you should consider opening an account on a more free-wheeling instance. Picking a different instance solves your problem without affecting others' current experiences.
I picked an instance based on their moderation policy. I want their level of moderation. I want them to block porn and the bigoted BS that some other instances allow. It would be a terrible downgrade in experience if I was at the whim of every other instances' moderation approach instead of by the instance I selected.
I’m quite happy with my instance and I haven’t experienced this myself (that I know of). I just personally would rather encounter something I don’t like than to only be able to see half a conversation.
I guess you’re right that having instance options makes this a non issue though, as we can both have what we want.
I just think a lot of people join instances like world or ml without really understanding this, which is unfortunate.
