(not sure if this is the right community, sorry)

Hi, someone posted this on another server. I’d like to request we defederate with rammy.site and exploding-heads.com as well. I scrolled through some of their posts and comments and it’s full of ridiculous anti-left propaganda, for example a post where some liberal Florida family fleeing the state when some child protection laws got passed, implying liberals abuse children and won’t live in a state that doesn’t allow them to. Just take a look for yourself.

" Admins of Lemmy.ml please consider defederating from rammy.site it has been taken over by right wing malicious actors from exploding-heads.com and the admin is nowhere to be found.

It is imperative that you take action as soon as possible the users on rammy are using the site to spread their messages to a further audience, we must nip this in the bud. If you don’t believe me check the instance for yourself, you’ll see it dominated with bigoted right wing posts and spam communities."

Edit: So many commenters think this is about political opinions or disagreement. It’s not. If I said “Mixing bleach and ammonia is good for you” I bet some of you would call that a political disagreement.

    Censoring for differences in political opinion is an obvious violation of freedom of speech

    Oh no yet another freeze peach fan complaining about how somehow SDF is part of the government.

        No, simply pointing out that people who complain that private platforms censor “”“free speech”“” as if they were somehow owed it, don’t even realize who are they complaining to.

        Thanks for demonstrating!

          I have repeated this argument elsewhere but I can say it again. When you are running a mainstream instance, you should be obliged to uphold every dissenting voices. Otherwise you will end up effectively censoring free speech. Your argument is extremely narrow minded

            I’m sorry… well, actually I’m not; I’m rather amused. Are you being serious?

            Are you saying that a major provider of an open service — like, say, a hospital, or a funerary house, for the fact of being major and open, is somehow beholden to you shouting anything you want? Such as “COVID is a hoax” or “women should not have body autonomy” kind of crap?

            I could believe if it SDF, or Lemmy in general, was a service of the Press. But it’s not. Heck, even if somehow Reddit closed tomorrow and SDF became the mainline Lemmy instance, it’d still not qualify as a “public plaza”, which are the only places where you are offered freeze peach protections specifically against the government (and those protections only apply to the speech, not to its consequences).

            If you go to a funerary house while they are performing a service (for their consumers, mind!) and start interrupting the rites with chants about 5G Wifi toiler-flinging COIVD bats from the CCP Intelligentsia’s Social Credits dispenser, you are not being censored when you are made to stop. You’re just being shown that you’re a jackass, and being shown the door.
