I find it ironic on a free speech platform that access to a community about censorship is censored https://exploding-heads.com/c/censorship

What exactly is wrong with this instance to be defederated? In browsing it, I see nothing hateful

Or did they defederate from this instance, so you cant view/post on it. Not sure if I completely understand how that works yet

    I’m on infosec.pub because I couldn’t get registration working anywhere. I really don’t think Lemmy will survive because of how convoluted it is.

    I don’t want to have to maintain multiple accounts or figure out how to get to the exploding heads url. A normal user just wants one account to “just work”.

    Hell, I can never even remember my own instances url

    See my other post in this thread https://infosec.pub/comment/488302

    Seeing the linking url I’m even more confused to this, I thought I posted on asklemny@lemmy.ml, so everything I post really is tied to my origin instance

      That I’m not sure of, it must have something to do with where the originating account is from and the interaction with how it’s posted to a different Lemmy instance. Maybe when you post on a different instance, your original instance hosts the content and links it on the outside one? Something to dig into for sure.

      Yeah Lemmy isn’t perfect, I doubt it’ll reach the levels reddit is at in terms of users. I do see the appeal in smaller niche communities, sort of like the old school forums that are still around but much more interconnected.
