I remember when I joined here that tchncs did not federate with Lemmygrad. Is there a reason why it is now? I don’t think it’s a good instance, since it full of (roleplaying) communists hating on the western world… and I wouldn’t want that shit in my “All” feed. Thank you.

    Because tchncs understands that without free speech we have no hope of dealing with any of the problems that concern us.

    Official statement:

    Federation status

    social.tchncs.de does not believe in censorship. Federation is a network service and suspension of federation with another server will only be implemented as a last resort where content from another server may cause problems under German law, or in cases of technical difficulties or hostile or malicious activity.

      I just had a blog post detailing tax records of a software org get deleted because a mod doesn’t like the guy pointing out the tax records.
