Yeah, the whole point of the Fediverse is it’s decentralized. Each instance has its own independent administrators so if you come across an instance you don’t like, you can just post to another one. Lemmy isn’t just one site but hundreds of sites that communicate together.
Context for those unaware:
“A friend of mine” OP is referring to Call Me Leni, who was banned from several instances and communities for being a KiwiFarms member, among other things, and OP has a grudge against the Fediverse for this. Leni shouldn’t have linked their KiwiFarms posts on Lemmy, and linked Lemmy threads talking about them on their KiwiFarms account. That wasn’t very bright of them.
Call me Leni also defended KiwiFarms as a “free speech” site and tried to conflate the hate site with Discord:
I take it OP feels like the Fediverse is violating “free speech” for banning KiwiFarms members.
True, that’s why on Lemmy, users can’t as easily lie about the reason they’re banned as they can on other sites. It’s also possible to see which mod banned whom.
You claimed in this comment that Leni was banned from multiple instances for being autistic, which I have proven to be a lie here. I don’t understand why you would lie about this. If you’re interested in a honest discussion here, I strongly advise you to not make claims which can easily be proven to be false.
Leni was banned from multiple instances for being a KiwiFarms user with a history of abusing people, bigotry, and Nazi apologia.
OP’s referring to this and modlogs say it’s their alt. I read OP’s post multiple times and from what I gather, OP is boasting about getting other people’s threads removed out of spite for the Fediverse because they got banned from the lemmy.ca instance on their Call Me Leni account.
OP has very little understanding of the fediverse given they don’t know how bans work and appears to dislike the fediverse quite a lot given their other post and this one as well.
I wonder if it has anything to do with this, and this?
