Exploding Heads decides to move to Nostr and close their lemmy instance down : fediverselore

The admin note there was pretty hilarious.

“We’re being censored because big instances defederated from us!” Bitch you can still scream your shit into whatever instances that still want to share the cesspool with you.

This is the real world equivalent of shouting into a megaphone outside a bar and claiming censorship when they close their doors to shut out the noise.

like some mollusk said: freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.

That said, get fscked exploding-heads.

This is exactly the reason why I myself am suspicious of anyone who tries to start shit when some instance defederates (or even implies they're thinking about defederating) from another.

Now, can "bad" defederations happen? Maybe. But the thing to realize is that each instance is it's own community, and they all differ on what they accept and what they refuse. Some will be stricter, and some will do the bare minimum to not end up being Voat 2. And that's why federation works, because you have the choice to pick where you stand in that spectrum.

The trolls need people to troll in order to not implode, and they will pull every trick in the book in an attempt to keep as wide a reach as possible. That's why anything without moderation capabilities of sort (and isn't, like, DMs or otherwise small groups only) do not work in the long term.

Good fucking riddance. Happy fizzling out in no-user-str.

So they aren't happy with having their community echo chamber on Lemmy if it means they can't harass others who don't share their views? I don't really get it.

Address on Nostr is [garbage].
Sounds complicated, but it's pretty easy..

Sure, ok.

Guess they.... imploded.

😎 YEEEAAAAHHHHH

I literally have no idea who they are or what they're about. Crying over being defederated is dumb.

Alt-right trolls are sad no one wanted to be their friend.

Freedom of speech to stop people from following their free will.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Yelling 'fire' in a crowded cinema for lulz isn't 'free' speech.

And free speech is NEVER without consequences. Say what you like, but better be okay with what people say back.

Hilarious that Nostr sells itself as censorship-proof, but when you look into that it's only because it's de-centralised. So the same approach lemmy uses?
