Everyone missing the point because the example is “Nazis”. It doesn’t matter what it is, I don’t want someone else deciding what I can see. Unless it causes legal problems for the server, don’t censor me.
Individual servers isn’t the quick answer everyone seems to think it is.

It might not be quick, but it’s probably the only answer. You can’t both have someone else run and be responsible for a server that you use and expect them to do everything exactly like you’d want it. Especially if doing it your way might result in significantly more work for them.
That’s true for Lemmy as it is for Reddit and any other service on the internet that you use, but don’t run yourself. The only difference with federated services like Lemmy is that there’s at least the possibility of just doing it yourself.
Different instances have different ideologies. You can get a user on “everything-conservative” which blocks half if the federation, or you can get into a free for all instance which allows all. Big generic instances like lemmy.world do have a big problem on their hands, they have to make the bubble the common denominator of all users, which is hard to know.

Then join a server that federates with everyone no matter what
