You choose what instance you are on. Quit the pseudointellectual whining. (sh.itjust.works)

No server operator needs to federate with you.
No server operator needs to tolerate things they don't want on their instance.
No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don't want to see.

Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.

Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers' posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.

According to some of the posts in here, apparently, wanting to ban Nazis from your instance and refusing to rebroadcast their toxic shit is being "entitled"...

Fully agreed. We are all on the internet, where you can find a link to questionable content anytime. Moderation is usually limiting those links, but (unless your ISP is blocking sth) nobody is cut off from said content. It is just harder to find, and there is no "right" to find content easily.

Enshitification is the dead spiral a platform goes when it starts to prioritize money, you can read more here: https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/

Can a free platform without commercial interests actually fall to classical enshitification?

Completely agree, this whole entitled attitude about "we left reddit because censoreship hurr durr, now u do same thing, you have to do what we tell you" is really annoying..

Nobody is censoring you, you are free to join and visit whatever instances you want and watch their content.. You can even host your own instance where you federate with whoever you want, you have free access to the code.. But nobody is forced to host ANY content they don't want on the server THEY themselves pay for..

we left reddit because censoreship hurr durr

The people leaving Reddit because of censorship did so long ago. These dissatisfied/censored people have a new home anyway... They can view child porn, people being brutally tortured/murdered, and make all the threats of violence they want on Twitter now. They just have to be careful not to insult the, "free speech absolutist" dictator or he'll have them banned.

The mass migration today is because of dissatisfaction with Reddit's decision to end 3rd party apps and specifically, the way in which they handled it. The dishonesty, the heavy-handed dictator-like seizure of protesting communities, the complete disregard for accessibility/moderation tools, etc.

To claim that people are leaving Reddit "because of censorship" isn't just missing the point, it's flat out wrong.

They went to the cesspit voat and that went under like a turd. I wonder where they all went after that, probably back to Reddit or Discord.

Whinging about whinging. The spirit of Reddit lives on.
