I find it ironic on a free speech platform that access to a community about censorship is censored https://exploding-heads.com/c/censorship

What exactly is wrong with this instance to be defederated? In browsing it, I see nothing hateful

Or did they defederate from this instance, so you cant view/post on it. Not sure if I completely understand how that works yet

    I’m new here myself but as I understand it, defederation essentially separates that instance from the rest of the “lemmy-verse” by not allowing users created on that instance to interact and post to other lemmy instances.

    You can still go to exploding heads and create a user there to post within that space. That user just won’t be able to interact with other lemmy instances that don’t federate to it. Maybe it’s less censorship and more of a refusal to associate with certain content.

    Someone more knowledgeable please feel free to correct any errors, lol.
