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.

Alright, corporate censorship requires that there be the threat of monetary loss or loss of access that will result in loss of money. So this can't be corporate censorship.

It's not self censorship because it's not a person censoring their own work.

That leaves only the possibility for it to be censorship by an organizing body, which requires that the organizing body be the principle body through which all media is distributed or authorized for distribution. Any single instance does not meet this definition. It is arguably possible that if the process by which activitypub was centralized under a single authority body, and that body decided to remove any instance spreading a specific message that could be a form of censorship.

You claim that I am ignoring your examples. It should be immediately obvious that my counter example is your argument reworded to be non technical. I'm sorry that you don't understand this or what it means.

You claim that I am ignoring the dictionary definition. I am not. Once again, you claiming something to be true doesn't make it true. Defederation is not the suppression of anything.

I'm sorry that you don't understand this. I don't know how else to tell you.

I haven't once insulted you in this thread before this but Go fuck yourself.
