Why do Instances Block?

Synther@lemmy.zip to privatelife - privacy, security, freedom advocacy · 9 months ago

So I want to make this post because I don’t know why instances, mine specifically, choose to block others. Now, don’t get me wrong that blocking instances that are CP related and anything illegal is something that should and needs to be blocked and/or removed. but if its something like Threads, let me choose to block a user myself, give me the freedom to do so. I’ve seen Brodie Robertson’s video talking about this, and I whole heartily agree with his stance on this where letting the user have the freedom to block a user or instance themselves.

I just feel that some lemmy instances are turning into big tech companies where they are controlling everything, and don’t get me wrong, its their server space, do what you want to do, but at least since you are using foss to run your lemmy server, at least be different then Reddit or YouTube etc. I created a lemmy account just to have a more private experience from Reddit without being tracked all the time. guess I was wrong.

not trying to get on the wrong foot here, I am just a fan of internet freedom, and I think you should have the right to do anything you want online, that’s within legal waters.

Thoughts…

It cuts both ways… if you were the owner of a server, would you want to be forced to allow content you didn’t want? I didn’t think so.
