    And here I thought that Fediverse was serious about being an alternative to heavily censored platforms. Now I see it’s just a joke.

      The only thing it’s serious about is being a decentralized platform - if you want to access something, then choose an instance who’se admins are serious about being heavily censored.

      It’s the old adage of “if you don’t like something, do something about it”

      The fediverse gives you the tools and ability to surf the fediverse how you want, all through decentralization. Don’t like the rules on one instance? Move, simple as that.

      It’s the same context of “vote with your wallet” - only put your accounts and time into instances you want to put your account on and only donate to instances you want to donate to, vote with your time and money, that’s how we can make this platform better, for ourselves and for others.

      1. It’s not censorship, it’s a liability/legal issue.

      2. This isn’t “the fediverse”, it’s a single instance.

      3. You can move to a dedicated piracy instance or start your own.

      It’s not censorship, it’s just smart people protecting themselves from liability. Some things are clearly illegal and the admins should not be expected to take the heat for people who participate in those illegal activities.

      They banned the shrooms community too. So glad I never volunteered to help these people…
