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

    right, but you cant interact unless you create an account there, thus fragmenting the ‘fediverse’

      I don’t see it any differently than a subreddit being banned, at least those users still keep whatever content and community they created. Defederation is just a moderation tool. At the very least, it appears there is consensus among admins and user polls in some instances before defedersting.

        Well ,if your home instance is defederated, you’re essentially blocked from another instance, not just a community.

        It’s no small thing to defederate, beehaw has many communities, all not accessible across Lemmy now
