Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

Turns out, those are sort of the same thing. You are given the power to shape your feed how you want it instead of how some corporation wants it.
Yes, but federation controls that on a wider level by adjusting what you’re allowed to see and interact with. Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still. That’s the point I’m making.
If everything federated by default, and users could sign up for filter lists or something to make it easy - sure. But that’s not how it works.
Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now, where if you mentioned a certain topic they were banning people; but they walked it back. I believe it was even the same topic of Luigi and “advocating violence”.
There is nothing stopping you from running your own Lemmy instance and choosing to federate with whomever you choose.
Which Lemmy instance? If you don’t like it, just join a different one.
This is all the beauty of not only federation, but also open source.
