That's nice, but you're wrong. If you run an instance it's your responsibility to defederate from servers that are distributing illegal content or content that is against your policies, because if your don't, you're re distributing that content. Legally it's the same as if you download a torrent and then seed it. I don't know if maybe you live in a different country with different laws, but SDF is located in Seattle WA. Anyway, I'm not going to engage with you further, at this point you're repeating yourself so I have to assume you're a troll.

Started with wirebase.org because it's local, but there was a lot of downtime. Switched to lemmy.sdf.org because they're also local, but are also a really old group that still hosts Usenet stuff. I've recently learned that they have never defederated though, and so I'm considering leaving because I don't believe in giving a platform to obvious disinformation and hate campaigns.

I never argued there is content I don't like (although I guess that's implied, I don't like it. But I also don't like child porn?). Some of it actually is illegal, free speech has exceptions in the jurisdiction of SDF, but regardless of whether or not you believe that, I don't understand why anyone would want to remain federated with an unmoderated instance.

What do you think a federation is? If you don't like the decisions of an instance you go to another one. If this instance defederates from rammy.site I'm staying, if not I'm leaving. You're free to leave if they defederate too, and if you felt the need to leave because of it I'd be happy to have you gone.

I feel like I have no other option. iPhones are better in principle, but the interface is awful. No back button alone is already a complete deal breaker for me. Samsung is bloatware, OnePlus is foreign spyware on top of Google's spyware.

I see nothing wrong with that, they're their own instance and can do what they want, isn't that the point of Lemmy?

I don't view SDF as an org that would choose to remain federated with rammy, but I could be wrong. And if I am, I will leave and choose another instance. I chose it because it's local, has good uptime, and has a good history on the internet.
