The primary purpose of the defederation mechanism is not to block content from readers, it’s to prevent brigades.

On Reddit some mods would just ban everyone who ever posted in a subreddit (like T_D), defederation is essentially the same thing.
Live in someone’s house, then follow their rules. Otherwise buy your own house or find another house.
That’s what I associate lemmy instances with. Anyways I’m glad that we are free to choose where we maintain our accounts. Unlike reddit wher we cannot even move in order to change the environment, cause it’s all under one management.

It’s for the person paying for the hosting and maintaining the server to decide what they want their server to do
Either way you call it, it’s someone else deciding for me
No it isn’t. You’ve got the whole Fediverse to choose from. That’s the whole fucking point.
If you want every single decision to go your way, run your own instance. Otherwise, quit moaning and find an instance that suits you.
