    I prefer to just block communities I don’t like rather than having an instance decide for me. There were votes here so it’s not like it was a sweeping decision, but I just block stuff I don’t like. I’m not going to ask an instance to block NSFW content, I will do that myself, same with content that is spammy or I find detestable.

      The thing is a lot of instances have multiple shitty communities.

      You can block one, but then the same edgelords make a new community on their instance for the same bigotry.

      Which leads users playing whack a mole.

      I took a look at your instance tho, and I 100% understand why you’d be upset at this instance for defederating.
