Cause no one is stopping you from going to said instance and just having the discussion there.
If there was this super important leak that needed to be out there, if it’s posted on a right wing instance that is a defederated ghost town, it’s still out there. People can link to it and leverage the instance to have the needed discussions.
Censorship means removing access, defederation does not wipe it off of the Internet.
“We are not banning books, we are just not allowing them in libraries and schools. You can always buy them if you feel the need to expose your child to them.”
So, following your logic, the right isn’t suppressing information about LGBtQI+ people.
Dont get me wrong please, I don’t think right wing content should stand unchallenged. I am just not a big fan of only allowing the “correct” information. Because, that is what the right is doing already (while screaming about free speach, mind you). I think it’s better to engage with right content and destroy it with arguments, rather then just banning it. I know I’m a minority with that opinion on Lemmy. I’m fine with that.

I would argue that censorship includes the suppression of information in its definition, not only it’s removal.
The information isn’t being suppressed, just not allowed to seep our of the trash bin it’s currently in
If you want the garbage it’s easy to find. Most normal people don’t, so it gets kept where it won’t taint everything
Same logic applied to something the right does:
“We are not banning books, we are just not allowing them in libraries and schools. You can always buy them if you feel the need to expose your child to them.”
