That's authoritarian
"please leave my party (I have set up a bunch of party supplies by the door you can take to host your own party)" is... not... authoritarian?
This was my understanding as well. The open source nature of Lemmy means that if fash want to to have their own circlejerk instance, they can set it up.
Although, I'm wondering how the federation works. Will such an instance automatically federate with this one, or can it be manually blocked from such? I still remember all the hubbub on Mastodon after Gab set up their own instance, but I never really understood the technical part.
