In light of lemmy.world's pre-emptive defederation of hexbear, would anyone support defederating lemmy.world? (lemmy.ml)

Interesting that the top comment is this:

Not in favour of this. I chose Lemmy.world because I wanted an instance that would federate even with people I might disagree with. If it's illegal and abusive, sure. But to defederate on ideological grounds? I was planning a recurring donation but this makes me consider setting up my own instance. They're welcome to whatever discussions they want to have on their instance. As long as they respect the rules of other instances when they're here, then everybody wins. As for their point about dismantling western propaganda - if they have documented sources then let's have a conversation. It's not like there isn't western propaganda

I don't remember which episode, but the podcast blocked and reported described exactly that that is what's going to happen to the fediverse. Sad.

(found it. The conversation is about mastodon and starts at 43:30)
