Dear Admins of the Lemmy.world instance I am asking that you please consider defederating from the rammy.site instance as soon as possible as the admin is no where to be found and it has been taken over by right wing posters posting hateful messages. There are also other people posting large amounts of spam and creating empty communities. What was once a small hobby run general purpose instance has been turned over and made into a festering right wing hate filled breeding ground by the people from exploding-heads. The only recoarse left it seems is to defederate to prevent them from spreading hate to other instances.
PS. I already sent this message to multiple admins here, sorry about that I just felt it was urgent to make sure the message was sent before these people cause more damage.
People should keep complaining though! Fine, Lemmy.world isn’t pro-freespeech, people should be aware so they can migrate to other instances.
Good, bye then. People who don’t understand free speech and think it excuses widespread bigotry are more than welcome to leave and go fuck themselves.
Here’s the thing: A person may have freedom of speech, but the people around them also have freedom to think they’re an asshole and stop listening or responding. Getting banned from social media is not an infringement of free speech, it’s other people exercising their freedom to not want you around them anymore.

Check https://mastodon.world/about - we are not a free speech platform and never claimed to be. It’s right there in the rules. Go to exploding-heads.com if you want “free speech”
Free speech means the government can’t stop you from saying something. It does not mean you have the right to be heard, or even to force people to listen, or that private companies (like Lemmy) can’t remove your ability to post to their platform. Hell, it doesn’t even mean you can say whatever you want without consequences, which can range from being blocked to being banned all the way up to being arrested if it’s a threat.
So, feel free to say whatever you want, just don’t be surprised when you lose your ability to post.
