  • feigning ignorance of the subject matter

    your comments do come off a little bit like that

    LOL damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If one doesn’t understand what another person means, there’s no way to gain understanding except to ask them. That people interpret genuine attempts to enter into dialogue as feigning ignorance shows, to me at least, the astonishingly low level of average communication ability.

    people often use it to dismiss any further discussion

    Communication can be too difficult for some.

    they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf

    If I want to talk to people on a defederated instance, I can create an account on the defederated instance. Nobody has made any decision for me. You seem unhinged.

    whether or not you asked them for it

    Admins having the power to decide to defederate is implied simply by being a Lemmy server. It cannot be any other way. The only “asking” that occurs in this situation is a user asking permission to sign up, create an account and use the server where the admins necessarily have that power.
