Instances usually vote for defederation https://sh.itjust.works/post/11308397

52·9 days agoIf you have to defederate everyone to ensure user safety, then why bother with the fediverse in the first place?
It’s rather the opposite: the federated models allows to choose which instances you want to connect with.
On centralized models, you can’t escape, you are trapped with everyone else, Twitter being a good example.

✅ blocking – users, communities, domains, instances. bi-directional.

Lots of people are waiting for app support, fingers crossed 🤞

Hey,
Hope you’re doing well!
Well done !
2·12 days agoOh, very interesting!
Seems like the blog post and Christine’s updates are quite new, maybe they deserve their own post here in the community?
Sure but that doesn’t change that they interpreted it the way they did and now they’re enforcing that interpretation. Theoretically any instance could do whatever they want but in reality this instance did the thing that everyone worries about centralised platforms doing.
Indeed, but the main difference between a centralized platform and a decentralized one is how easy it is for users to change communities.
If Reddit bans a subreddit, users cannot create any alternative subreddit on the whole platform.
In the feddit.org case, other users have set up !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com , which everyone can use instead of !europe@feddit.org without having to create a new account.
I still don’t see any difference or benefit here.
See above.
I get the sense that the only place to discuss certain aspects of the Fediverse without people getting angry or taking things personally is somewhere outside of the Fediverse.
You could create a Fediverse-critic community here, and establish rules who would shape the community that way. There was a !linuxsucks@lemmy.world community that was active for a while.
Because people are weird and defensive about it and make it part of their personality, which I think is the reason for at least 50% of the hate towards Bluesky.
People have seen Reddit and Twitter enshittify because of their centralised model. A decentralized model is considered a solution to this.
I think Bluesky would get less criticism here if they were honest about the fact that they aren’t really going for a decentralized model instead of pretending they are, but then it costs millions to run an independent node would require a whole company
The likely answer to this is that there will always have to be a large corporation at the heart of Bluesky/ATProto, and the network will have to rely on that corporation to do the work of abuse mitigation, particularly in terms of illegal content and spam. This may be a good enough solution for Bluesky’s purposes, but on the economics alone it’s going to be a centralized system that relies on trusting centralized authorities.
How often would the average user use this feature? Maybe a few times during instance hopping at first, and then that would be it.
So it turns out that Lemmy instances are just as vulnerable to government censorship and / or bad actors being in charge as any other platform.
The feddit.org interpretation of that law is debated. Lemmy.world is hosted using a German company (Hetzner), and LW doesn’t have such policy.
There’s nothing really stopping any large instance from deciding to monetize or whatever that I can see.
People would leave for another instance.
you lose your entire comment history
Add a link in your bio to your old profile, and vice-versa. Keep the same username and avatar. None of my current alts are from June 2023, but people still recognize me since then as I kept the same username and avatar.
you mod a community, you lose everything you’ve built and have to start over
https://lemmy.world/c/football is a good example of smooth transition to !football@lemm.ee: pinned post that pinged everyone who interacted recently in the community to make sure everyone is aware, and several announcements about the move. You don’t have to completely start over.
A few other examples
Any link for this incident? Probably a report on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
