Yesterday, lemmy.blahaj.zone announced their defederation from lemmynsfw.com and argued that lemmynsfw don’t care enough about CSAM.

Although I think lemmynsfw is right about this, that’s not the point. I believe lemmy.blahaj.zone is an instance caught in the positivity echo chamber (to put it more roughly, circle jerk).
You can never interact negatively with their decisions or thoughts. Downvotes disabled. Admin literally removing any opposing view while keeping positive ones.

Admin removed the comment while keeping reply of it and commenting with Exactly this. Dear friend, we don’t know the main comment so how can we agree any of them?
IDK. I think it is very annoying for an instance built on diversity to have such reactions. Is it just me thinking like that? Am I the stupid one here?
Note: Posting this here so admins won’t be able to remove.
Edit: I guess I should add this. IDC should they defederate or not. I just don’t liked their behaviour.
Instances like that that really want to stay closed off to the general public, really should have the option to not show all of their content to all of the Fediverse. It’s true that what they do on their instance is their business, after all that’s why they have an entire instance and not just a community on a random server.
But that post being posted all over the network, especially with the admin behaving so… Well you’ve seen it, no need to call names, obviously attracts attention.
I have to say tho, the other admin has a point. Body shaming of skinny people is absolutely normalised and rarely anyone sees any issue with it. Recently, ageism is ramping up to absurd level as well. It’s like other -isms are frowned upon now, so the society has found a new subject to pile upon. One would thing that the people of blahaj in particular would see the irony.
It does beg the question of why federate at all if you are going to make a walled garden anyway? I would think a private forum would cost a lot less to host too.
