I find it ironic on a free speech platform that access to a community about censorship is censored https://exploding-heads.com/c/censorship

What exactly is wrong with this instance to be defederated? In browsing it, I see nothing hateful

Or did they defederate from this instance, so you cant view/post on it. Not sure if I completely understand how that works yet

    I’m new here myself but as I understand it, defederation essentially separates that instance from the rest of the “lemmy-verse” by not allowing users created on that instance to interact and post to other lemmy instances.

    You can still go to exploding heads and create a user there to post within that space. That user just won’t be able to interact with other lemmy instances that don’t federate to it. Maybe it’s less censorship and more of a refusal to associate with certain content.

    Someone more knowledgeable please feel free to correct any errors, lol.

      I tried going to infosec.pub/c/[email protected] and it was empty except one post. shortly after I posted this it looked like their whole instance went offline though. something is glitching, sometimes I can see all the posts when reloading, but usually not

        Additionally, since your account is lemmy.ml , you need to creating an account on exploding heads to interact and post new content to that censorship community ( I THINK ), since they no longer federate.

          I’m on infosec.pub because I couldn’t get registration working anywhere. I really don’t think Lemmy will survive because of how convoluted it is.

          I don’t want to have to maintain multiple accounts or figure out how to get to the exploding heads url. A normal user just wants one account to “just work”.

          Hell, I can never even remember my own instances url

          See my other post in this thread https://infosec.pub/comment/488302

          Seeing the linking url I’m even more confused to this, I thought I posted on [email protected], so everything I post really is tied to my origin instance
