Can blocking various tlds considered as censorship by restricing a user by saying whatever tlds they must on their domain related to blog or a lemmy instance ? Is defining a specific set of tlds as abusive accurate as anyone have the right to choose whichever tld they wanna use ?

    Censorship isn’t bad in itself. It’s a necessary evil just like imprisoning someone who imprisons others. Both are removing freedom, but one was for the benefit of an individual and the other is for the benefit of everyone else in the society. Regulation of freedoms is always necessary.

    Problem is these days the far-right tries to say all regulation is too costly. But if one innocent person loses their rights compared to millions of innocent people losing their lives, its a big difference. Similarly, someone abusing their right to speak losing their right is not the same as someone using their right to speak responsibly, losing it.

      There is a huge difference between freedom and freedumb. Unfortunately, especially in the US, people just don’t seem to be able to grasp that concept.
