To everyone who’s been telling OP off, claiming “free speech” and such: there’s still free speech. They can say whatever they want, but we don’t want to hear it. To correct myself: the majority of us don’t want to hear it. You have every right to convert instances if you disagree. Moderation is always going to be opinion-based; everyone has their own opinion of right and wrong.

So don’t talk about “free speech” and then wonder why you get downvoted into oblivion. We simply don’t want to have to deal with this nonsense. Keep in mind too that Lemmy doesn’t let you block an instance yet(AFAIK); it’s up to the instance admins. Just like a government, a user is going to pick the instance to best represent them. And just like a government, that instance will probably act in favor of the majority. So please just stop complaining. There is no plus to federating with rammy.site and frankly, we don’t need them.

If you censor comments the instance has no free speech. You are right about “your instance, your rules”, if you lurk to an instance read the instance and moderation rules, the power of a protocol as Lemmy you can just join an instance with or without free speech.
That’s why I joined unilem … they have a specific policy not to defederate from any instance … a policy with which I wholeheartedly agree. I’m not at all right wing, I hate Trump and I believe vaccines save lives. But I also believe that others have the absolute right to disagree. What’s more my beliefs are strong enough that I can handle seeing alternate opinions. What I absolutely don’t want is to spend my time in a echo chamber. You (and many others here) disagree and that’s fine too.
I’ll check that instance 👍
