MODERATORS
Loved the comment from user @TheLurker@lemmy.world :
*"If you want your own unfiltered feed. Create your own instance and don’t de-federated any other instance. All the content in the feed will be available because like email, it is federated, so you only need to subscribe to the feeds. The admins do not control the content. But they do control the instances which they maintain, and rightly so.
This is NOT A PLATFORM, it is a protocol and you have the choice to engage with it how you want. Don’t like an instance, stop using it. Use another or create your own. You will still get all the content."*
This is just so well stated, imho. Of course the person TheLurker was speaking to isn't interested in the content, they're interested in the users so that they can troll them endlessly.
