Do you understand the difference?
Yes, but you don’t. You’re promoting cutting off an entire group of viewpoints all on the flimsy justification that there are some shitty people and trolls on .ml (just block the bad users on your own ffs).
Defederating will create echo chambers across the fediverse where dissenting voices aren’t heard by people who really need to consider a contrary opinion. That’s censorship. Sure technically each individual user could go make a new account wherever they please, but that’s an extra step and it’s easier to police any dissent that trickles in. Don’t tell me that’s not censorship, I’m not stupid.
It’s nice the fediverse doesn’t have centralized control, (otherwise the tankies that built it would have banned everyone), but this place will ultimately produce nothing useful for society since it’s devolving into isolated echochambers where people go to get intellectually jerked off when they feel sorry for themselves.
Love it, a tale as old as time. No really, our ancestors were probably doing this for millennia.
