    So we’re on the same page with racism being unjustifable even if we can follow how it originates, perfect. I view liberalism in a similar light, it’s logically unjustifiable and rests on idealism and metaphysics.

    If an instance decided to block perfectly agreeable terms, then their reputation would tank and they would likely get mass defederated.

    This isn’t true in practice, though. Lemmy.world blocking Hexbear and Lemmygrad.ml is unreasonable, and their reputation did tank among leftists because of it, but it doesn’t result in mass defederation. What people believe to be perfectly agreeable is different depending on ideological stance.

      So it’s automatically wrong in your mind that some people don’t want to use and/or support Lemmy?

      You are outnumbered on the Fediverse. Most people here do not like Hexbear and Lemmygrad and consider the blocking of those instances justifiable. An instance blocking the use of specific terms within their instance would possibly get defederated if widely considered justifiable.
