Take your own advice and block me so you don’t see this post?

@[email protected] any thoughts on this?

That’s nice, but you’re wrong. If you run an instance it’s your responsibility to defederate from servers that are distributing illegal content or content that is against your policies, because if your don’t, you’re re distributing that content. Legally it’s the same as if you download a torrent and then seed it. I don’t know if maybe you live in a different country with different laws, but SDF is located in Seattle WA. Anyway, I’m not going to engage with you further, at this point you’re repeating yourself so I have to assume you’re a troll.

I’m asking the mods who run this server to do their jobs, are you telling me that if you’re at a restaurant and they bring you the wrong food you call the police instead of asking your server to fix it? Bruh

I never argued there is content I don’t like (although I guess that’s implied, I don’t like it. But I also don’t like child porn?). Some of it actually is illegal, free speech has exceptions in the jurisdiction of SDF, but regardless of whether or not you believe that, I don’t understand why anyone would want to remain federated with an unmoderated instance.

It’s not about blocking content from my feed, it’s about the instance not relaying that content. Maybe you would feel differently if it was child porn?

Then if SDF defederates from them, leave

What do you think a federation is? If you don’t like the decisions of an instance you go to another one. If this instance defederates from rammy.site I’m staying, if not I’m leaving. You’re free to leave if they defederate too, and if you felt the need to leave because of it I’d be happy to have you gone.

This is my daily reminder that there are many people on the internet who don’t understand history. And also seemingly a lack of understanding of the word federation.

My far left campaign to defederate from an unmoderated compromised instance? Huh. I didn’t know that had anything to do with political preferences. Are you trying to tell me that the right wing advocates for unmoderated instances and disinformation?

Let’s not call defederating from an unmoderated server a war?

I know there’s a lot about his voting record that I disagree with, but I haven’t looked close enough to see if he actively supported fascist policies on the regular. If so, I’d agree

I appreciate your contribution to this discussion. Thanks for the comment!

I see nothing wrong with that, they’re their own instance and can do what they want, isn’t that the point of Lemmy?

I don’t view SDF as an org that would choose to remain federated with rammy, but I could be wrong. And if I am, I will leave and choose another instance. I chose it because it’s local, has good uptime, and has a good history on the internet.

I guess I see that more as an embodiment of the US government for decades, so I don’t attribute that to Biden himself being a fascist. I don’t think mass incarceration is inherently fascist, although I could be wrong on that. Everything else on that list has been US policy for my entire life. That would be the center of the Venn diagram where both side’s evil overlaps, but I don’t think it’s enough to call Biden himself a fascist in the same way you can actually call Trump a fascist because he himself embodies all of the values. I don’t think participating in a fascist system automatically makes you a fascist. Evil to ignore it? Yes, but that’s not the same thing.

Can you explain exactly how Biden is a fascist? Regardless of what you think of him I don’t see how that applies. The “both sides are the same” argument is getting very tiring, they’re both evil, but they’re absolutely not the same.

I seem to interpret that differently than you. I also read the common sense section, and felt that it supported my position.

I literally don’t know how the quote got messed up, I copied and pasted 🤷 I have no idea what’s going on at beehaw. lemmy.ml defederated from rammy.site

Thank you for actually reading some posts instead of blindly assuming things. I think the situation is a little different than I thought. Lemmy.ml defederated from rammy.site but not exploding-heads. rammy.site has no mods currently and a disinformation campaign was launched on it from exploding-heads. I went to look at exploding-heads again today and it seems much more mild than yesterday, but rammy.site is still filled with trash posted from exploding-heads. Maybe take a look there?

I didn’t see the vaccine post you mentioned, but I would imagine it’s out of context. I can’t even seem to find it when searching.

Context matters though. If employees got a different vaccine because the company didn’t trust their own, that’s very different than employees got a different vaccine because it was cheaper. I don’t know what the truth is there, but disinformation often involves using true facts out of context to steer towards false conclusions. It’s very easy to manipulate people that way.

Since you asked me to provide some examples myself:

https://rammy.site/post/327922 Out of context, this implies children get transition operations from the NHS. In context, “For the first time, it has set a minimum age of seven for referral to the gender identity clinics. These children will be offered psychological support and therapy that will focus on issues that may have led to their feelings about their gender.”

https://rammy.site/post/326298 This one is a list of cherry picked climate change predictions that didn’t come true. The vast majority of the scientific community did not come to those conclusions. In fact, I started to get the feeling they were made up, so I started checking the sources. They are actually, literally made up. They didn’t even go through the effort of finding real predictions that went wrong, they just grabbed random quotes and paired them with institutions and dates. When you search the quotes on Google, you get different names, or just the same article copied and pasted.

https://rammy.site/post/327918 This one says a woman was denied cancer treatment for criticizing transgenderism. She was not. She refused to make appointments because there was a pride flag in the office, and harassed the staff over it for years. I don’t even like Newsweek as a source, but even they told the truth on this one https://www.newsweek.com/woman-accuses-hospital-denying-cancer-treatment-over-transphobic-comment-1817671

These were five out of the first 8 posts I clicked on. I didn’t even need to try to find them.
