see linked post. I believe this would count as one of the examples given in the federation policy https://lemm.ee/post/401063 :

An instance which is knowingly spreading CSAM into the federated network

I'm not lol just wanted to have a conversation about the topic because the "free speech except these people" viewpoint requires some objective point of reference for what's acceptable.

It's fairly obvious to 99% of people when it's things like Nazis and pedos but it's not always as clearcut with more controversial topics

Lemmy instances having their own rules and defederating from those they don't like seems like the best solution provided there are enough of them that users can jump ship if they don't like the way they're run

Furries, lot of people don't like them but also don't think they should be globally silenced unless they are actual zoophiles

People using words other people don't like that aren't necessarily used in a hateful way, some people don't want to see that some don't care.

Was on a gmod server before that had a total free speech rule where people would say horrendous shit to be edgy but one day they banned one slur for one group of people specifically which felt kinda weird

Hexbears. A lot of people call for you guys to get defederated, but have seen a few hexbears be genuinely nice and helpful. I'm sure you can see my point with that one

So you think people should be able to use slurs. Big suprise there
