    The most important thing people have on Fediverse is freedom of choice and, I hope, of expression. There are countless isolated communities outside of it, corporate or not, which one can use as a safe space when necessary. I really hope this decentralized archipelago will not turn into a) centralized echo chamber, or b) even more decentralized set of very small echo chambers. We need to be able to experience everything that there is, and react to it if/however we like. And for that, we need substantial amount of communities to be federated to everyone else. I hate when some delusional freak praises Mao or Stalin, who literally washed the land with the blood of the innocent and built a new order on their bones. Or when someone writes a trolling(?) post which implies open racism. But I better be able to read those posts than not.

      Why? Racists and fascists can stay on their own instance. If you want to read those posts so bad, just find a server that federated with exploding heads or whatever. Or run your own instance, the one your account is on doesn’t federated with either exploding heads nor lemmygrad.

        Or just create extra accounts on exploding heads and lemmygrad.

        On Mastodon, the overeager admins defederate instances which didn’t defederate “bad” instances. Not just the “bad” ones but anyone who doesn’t agree they’re “bad”.

        I’m not threatened by their misinformation, and I’d rather be able to see all veiwpoints - even ones I disagree with - than end up in an echo-chamber.

        They’re the ones that require an echo-chamber to protect their delusions. Federating with the rest of the sane instances will hurt them more than us.
