The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

bruh that’s not how it works.
When an instance is blocked, YOU CANNOT ENGAGE WITH IT. You can view it if you know how to find it, but you can’t access it, you can’t comment on it, you can’t have others from that instance contact you, you can’t do anything in that blocked instance.
like fuck, earlier you talked about how easy it is for you to make an account. So go ahead and make a burggit account, and then try to post on a blocked instance. You’ll find your post is invisible to everyone.
If you can view it, you can access it, dude. And the point is that you’re eminently free to participate in other instances that don’t restrict you, and that there are people using the site who aren’t you who might want posting restricted from some communities.
you can’t fucking access it, omg. Go ahead, right now, make a burggit account and try to make a post on lemmy.world
Then, when that inevitably fails, I hope you apologise for your mistake. ___
Dude… “post” and “access” aren’t the same word, and you’re getting unnecessarily energetic about this just because I disagree you’re being CENSORED
Are you seriously arguing on semantics?
The core of the issue is the definition of fucking censorship! It’s been a semantic issue the whole time!
Well, I’ve made my point. It’s on you to disprove it, which, as you put it previously, “is easy”. Make a burggit account, make a lemmy.world post, see how that works out for you.
See, my whole argument is that I had a beehaw account, but then beehaw blocked sh.it and lemmy.world, so I could no longer access these instances. As a user, my account and its ability to access content got censored without my say. So, I made this one instead.
When you block an instance, you are censoring users from accessing it. I can’t make it any simpler than that.
Your point is moot because it doesn’t demonstrate censorship, because you can easily make an account that isn’t blocked.
Incorrect; you could still access those instances, seeing and reading posts; you weren’t able to post or comment to them yourself, and crucially are able to do so if you make a new instance that was federated with it.
Okay, so you just don’t know what “getting censored” means. This isn’t how this word is used. You don’t say “my ability to read books at the library was censored”, you say “they censored library books so I have less ability to read them”.
No. That’s not what censoring means, for one thing, and for another, you can still access the instance, just not participate in it.
I can’t believe I need to explain basic English to you.
I’m going to bed, dude. If you can make that easy account and easily post, then I’ll concede. But you won’t, since you fucking can’t.
