The cultural defeat is so strong that people here are equating transparent and responsible leadership with corporate governance, lol. As if volunteer or small-project admins couldn’t be serious or good.

I haven’t claimed to be silenced by anyone at the moment. I’m just tired of like 10 people stating the obvious “join other instance” as if I didn’t know it beforehand and said I was thinking of doing that same thing since my very first post; or stating that I shouldn’t be demanding anything from the admins (not even reasons or transparency?)

I don’t think I’m being aggressive at all, I do think this community is way to defensive about any criticism to this particular measure, and I think it is due to a deeply ingrained censorship culture that sites like Reddit and Facebook groups greatly normalized in the internet.

So tldr “stfu and gtfo”? I can get outta here and, been saying it from the beginning, I probably will, but I won’t be silent about it.

That’s why I made this post. Want to see transparency on why they blocked an instance. Honestly if the guys running this want Reddit 2 with all the oversanitization I think I’m going to set my main acc on another instance.

Yes I surely know it’s not “a big deal” and I already said I will leave on my post.

But I won’t be silent about it. This is about the culture of the platform itself.

This instance has been receiving a lot of newcomers like me, and to me this is not OK. It is not OK to let the admins decide the content you’ll receive.

If instances keep defederating from each other, you’re fostering a culture of censorship and isolation where admins decide over users.

Enjoy your echo chamber / tyranny as any other subreddit where mods did what they wanted with you.

Culture is more important than software.
