Contrary to what I think OP’s position is, I think Lemitors are distinguished from mainstream audiences in that we tolerate or prefer an environment where censorship is impossible. Defederation doesn’t silence anyone, it just plugs your ears.
On a individual level. I completely agree with you.
It’s when large instances with large user bases. Get very opinionated and start to defederate from other instances for differences of politics or opinions, but not bad behavior. That’s where I think Lemmy swings too far into censorship
I’m not 100% certain that defederation counts as censorship.
A group recognizing that a different group is harassing and inflammatory towards them and excluding them isn’t really stopping them from talking in the first place, and therefore it’s not censoring them.
Each individual has the option of picking a side or creating additional accounts so that they can be on both sides if they want.
The only “censorship” here is a very minor hurdle in between the two groups.
Yeah I mean you could take it further and say someone blocking someone or a community is censorship. I mean I just don’t like sports and I don’t like memes at the volume that is present.

Veganism

Curation is not censorship. Telling you that I will no longer contribute my personal resources to platforming your message is not censorship.
Post an opinion that goes against the current buzzing of the hive and see what happens.
I’ve experienced many lemmies calling for the censorship of others, calls for defederation, etc… maybe its just me
