Following the announcement by beehaw admins to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, there has been many posts and messages regarding that decisions and what other instances will do.
I personally believe Lemmy/kbin can only thrive if there is a free flow of content between different instances, with instance admins taking a back seat and focusing more on the infrastructure and making sure the technical bugs are smoothened out. Community mods can moderate their communities, and users can block the communities they don’t find appealing (there’s even a toggle in settings to hide every NSFW post from your feed altogether).
We don’t want to create walled gardens, nor do we want to make Lemmy more confusing than it already is for new users. We will not be defederating from any instance if there is even one good community on it that our instance users might find useful. So far we have only blocked lemmygrad.ml, and right now we have no plans to block anyone else.
Ah, yes, the capitalists srike back 😂. Pretty calm until you mention communism or socialism and then everyone comes after you 😂.
Whatever, this just feels like another reddit. Those with power expressing their will on the ones that don’t have it. Might as well go back to Reddit, at least there’s good shitposts there.
Sorry I didn’t mean to be rude that’s just how I talk. This is ment to “just be another reddit” except unlike reddit where you have to constantly worry about your community getting wiped off the platform here you can rest assured there’s always a place for it.
I don’t even have a commuity there… plus, I usually just scroll through linux/dev communities and shitposts, they’re never going away.
