Well, I definitely could have taken more time to phrase that more precisely.:-) They obviously don’t refuse to defederate from “anyone” - as there are 4 blocked instances listed there - but it’s more that they are proud of a diversity of opinion, so that e.g. they do not defederate from Hexbear.net or even from Lemmygrad.ml, which most other instances choose to do. Value judgements entirely aside (although if we were to get into such I would prefer to have divided them into opt-in vs. opt-out), many new users of the Fediverse report having gotten confused about being bullied and how to stop it, and then left (as reported on e.g. r/RedditAlternatives) rather than stick around long enough to find out. So lemm.ee puts a lot of the burden of figuring things out, rather than making those decisions for those new joiners.
Its not that .ee doesn’t defed, they’re just more careful about it.
For example, check lemm.ee/instances compared to lemmy.today/instances.
