  • They weren’t “deplatformed” they were told that their illegal content was not welcome in this server instance.

    You’re new so I get that you might not understand how Lemmy works, but there are many servers that share conversations with eachother. If one server is tired of having to moderate illegal activity then they will “defederate” with the offending server and not show their content on their server. They are nit being deplatformed, they are being shown the door because they refuse to moderate their own server.

    Hate speech is illegal in some countries, incitement of violence illegal in many more countries, and hosting said content could cause legal trouble for the federated server’s administrators.

    They’re not being deplatformed, they’re being told that they’re not welcome at this party and need to stick to their own hate filled parties.
