I did read the FAQ before asking this, I did not take it to mean it’s a policy of the server not to defederate.

Why does everyone keep thinking this is about political views?

Is that a policy of this instance?

You’re reading the situation wrong. Go to those instances and read what’s there, it’s not about free speech, it’s active disinformation campaigns and propaganda. I would feel the same if it was extreme leftist propaganda. It’s not about creating an echo chamber. I respect the right to free speech, but that isn’t the same as allowing people a platform to systematically organize hate using falsified information. This is a situation where silence is complicity. Their instance continues to exist without us, their free speech continues, but by remaining federated we are giving them a platform.

It’s not political difference, it’s disinformation and propaganda. Just look, even if you’re conservative you should be able to see how messed up it is unless you lack critical thinking skills

I really don’t like that style of interface. But what’s cool is, it doesn’t matter what I think, because both can coexist so people who do like it can enjoy it. Looks good, Rock on!
