IMHO, the big problem is that defederating causes a bunch of problems when you’re cutting ties with an instance that is 99.9% good actors.
Sure, you cut out the trolls, but you also totally fuck up the user experience for the vast majority of well intentioned people.
Example, I’m on Lemmy.world, and my wife is on beehaw. We often both comment to a Lemmy.ml community, and neither of us can see each others comments even though Lemmy.ml is neutral ground.
I would personally join another instance to have access to both lemmy.ml and my wife’s comments. Why don’t you join lemm.ee for example? It hasn’t defederated or been defederated with any big instance.
Yeah this along with having more communities aligned with my interests is why I joined programming.dev. I like beehaw’s communities, and lost a good 6-7 communities when they defederated from the other two big ones.
So I moved to a third instance, to get used to this place until I set my own up sometime in the near future.
I’m out of the loop, what happened?!
One person created the_donald over there and people are getting butthurt.
Were butthurt, until they got what they wanted and the community got banned
Yeah I missed the drama too
There’s no real drama. Beehaw is defederating from some instances with shitty communities. That’s all.
I don’t understand people who want this to be another reddit. Reddit was awful lmao
