Why can't people decide for themselves? I don't get the appeal of someone blocking something for me? A real turn off for me on lemmy so far. I get it for now since the tools aren't there yet but long term if it continues to be an issue I'd probably have to self host or get out.
They can decide for themselves. They can run their own server or join a server that has few rules (although that server may get defederated by others).
That's way more freedom than you get on non-federated social media.
It's freedom in the loosest sense. As in there's more options. Would it still be freedom if a government makes choices for you? I suppose if I have the means to move to a different country it technically still is. Still distasteful. I don't know the people that run my instance. Why should I trust them to know what's best? We'll see how it shakes out.
