You should be ashamed of yourself for publicly admitting your ability to feel empathy for victims of an ONGOING genocide is too withered, small and pathetic to even consider it worth discussing.

If defederating from Zionists harms the Fediverse, then Feddit should fix their Zionist problem so they're worth federating with {insert Austrian flags on fire}

IMO it signifies the strength of the Threadiverse. The ability to freely choose who and where to connect with.

On redacttit you would be forced to share a space with places like T_D or truscum, and have their horrible takes influence others. Here we can defederate from the worst offenders yet stay in touch with others.

Yeah yeah we've heard this before from libertarians who came before you "defederation will destroy the fediverse", "moderation is a violation of fReE sPEeCh", and other such talking points yet we're still here and will certainly be here for years to come, and still somehow the percentage of wrongful moderation is still insanely low compared to the amount of libs complaining about it.

Honestly defederation is a strength, not a weakness. It is a strength to stand up and say no. To refuse to tolerate abusive behavior. Which yes includes Zionists denying Genocide. It's the reason why despite their best efforts, Lemmy hasn't been taken over by right-wingers and transphobic trolls the way Reddit was a while ago. Oh they tried, many servers banned their accounts, and the servers they set up have been heavily defederated. People have said the Fediverse would split with a right-wing equivalent to what we have here, but it did not. Those ultimately died off or are dying now. Because the Fediverse is for real people who care about connection and community, and those people don't care about either.
