    Ye, ye, nothing says “freedom of speech” as much as collective punishment!

    Especially now, with Fediverse being barely understood by its own users and those outside the bubble having no clue what any of that means. People signing up to random servers just to be able to get off of Reddit getting slapped with an instance ban will surely boost Fediverse numbers!

        Paradox of tolerance doesn’t include collective punishment, mate. Especially considering the .world and .ml instances are the largest ones, to the point where they’re listed on the Wiki article for Lemmy.

        Just imagine - you seeing that Reddit is going to shit, wanting to change to something better, looking up Lemmy, seeing that one of these two instances being the largest, joining, and immediately being called a Nazi, or some such bullshit by an elitist prick.

          You know we’re talking about ICE, right? the literal evil paramilitary squad of a crumbling empire. The ones who kidnap children, the ones who break into homes and disappear people.

          I could understand your being pissed off if it was some fucker getting cancelled for something unimportant.

          But people died, people died. This ain’t the same thing.

          And no, it literally does. You don’t want to turn into a nazi bar, you don’t let Nazis in. If the owners let Nazis in, you don’t go to the bar and you tell every other fucker to do the same.
