    People are unable see content from other people that their instance has defederated with. (Yes, you can have an account on multiple instances, but that kind of defeats the point of federation.)

      So, the inconvenience of having to go from one openly available source of information to ANOTHER openly available source of information, is the same as an authority figure preventing someone from speaking their own opinions?

      If you say so. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Why should an instance get to choose what its users can read? That feels similar to a government deciding what their citizens can read.

          But they aren’t. You can go see it.

          That’s like complaining about not being able to talk to your buddy across the street because you don’t want to walk over there. God damn city put this street here and it’s standing between me and my conversation!!!
