It says:

That doesn't make any sense. You would think the people of the fedi would understand basic concepts of freedom. Freedom can be used for good or bad. Odysee has good and bad videos. As does YouTube, Instagram, and every other platform. If you want to ban videos, ban the videos. Banning an entire platform is nonsense. All you're doing is reinforcing YouTube's monopoly.

That gives no explanation to why some standard unspecified by you is bad.

Why is the standard bad, in your opinion?

    You are saying the decision doesn't make sense. But the correct way to put it is that it doesn't make sense to you.

    Yes, that much is implied...who else would I be talking about?

    People have different standards of judging what they deem harmful/suitable for the community/worth the effort

    Yes and those standards are not all the same. Some of them are bad. This one is bad. If you want to provide a counterargument we can debate whether it's bad. Go ahead.

    try to find out what the reasoning

    The reasoning was already explained before I got here. The reasoning is what I said didn't make sense.

    It's not really a misrepresentation. You are saying the decision doesn't make sense. But the correct way to put it is that it doesn't make sense to you. People have different standards of judging what they deem harmful/suitable for the community/worth the effort and there's no purely objective way to make sense of that. The very least thing you could do of you want tp engage in a good faith exploration of the topic would be to at least try to find out what the reasoning of the person who set those rules was before you deem them to not make sense.

    It makes a lot of sense. One of the central points of fedi is that every instance can choose their own rules to be governed by. If you think the main point of fedi is being a libertarian free-for-all then I don't think you've been paying attention (there's Nostr for that).

    Dumb question, but how is it blocked? Does it mean you can’t share a video from Odysee on PieFed?

    I’m on PieFed.social and it already surprised me at the beginning to see that some instance were blocked without me choosing to.

    They’re all guilty of it.

    Fun fact about countries with high levels of corruption: the general feeling among citizens is that "everyone is doing it" -- so if they don't participate they are a chump.

    A more developed moral sense includes stronger personal accountability.

    If the platform is volunteering to host Russian propaganda videos instead of banning them, the platform should not be used by real people.

    That's every platform, my guy.

    The basic concepts of freedom include not just watching from the side when your friend’s freedom gets obliterated.

    That's not happening.
