They could stay on Lemmy.ml but you said yourself that you’re “tired of people making choices for you”. Im not sure how you thought using someone else’s server works. They own it, they can do what they want. Isn’t that how right leaning Americans want it? The thing about Federation is that even John Q Citizen can spin up their own Instance. Noone is forcing you to use someone else’s Instance and be bound by that Instances rules. Own your Instance server you can make the rules.
Also, your you of “You people” is disingenuous because what makes you think this is my only account, on the only server. There’s nothing saying I can’t have accounts on every public server. Because, as mentioned, I am free to not agree with an admins choices and noone is forcing me to stay on one Instance.
And your last - part you can! Own your own Server Instance and you can Defederate all you want! You cN even launch your own Communities identical to the others to not miss out on content you do want to see.
I’m literally telling you all that lemmy.world is fine for me and you’re trying to make the backwards argument that it should change for you and I should spin up my own instance?
My god. Logic is not present in this thread at all. Just say “I don’t like facebook and neither should anyone else.” You’d come across as more genuine.
Also, users shouldn’t have to host their own instance to choose what instances they see. They should have the ability to block entire instances just like they block communities and users. This is a horrible oversight of the platform and hopefully will be fixed soon.
If an Instance Owner holds a vote and 98% of people say they want to Fedi with Threads, and the owner Defederates anyway, they can do that because they own it. It will make those 98% unhappy, but that’s the price of being on that owners Instance. The owner has execute authority.
So the alternatives are - in order of difficulty and effort/cost 1.Make a Threads account 2.join a Fedi that is still federated with them 3.Make your own.
If the 98% were actually that unhappy and did literally anything other than staying and creating content on that Instance, then it reduces traffic to that Instance. And the owner is left with a ton of sunken cost in hardware for not listening to a 98% vote. That’s how capitalism is supposed to work, right?
You argued for 2 hours just to finally admit you don’t want solutions, you just want to keep being a victim.
And pre-emptively, I’m going to predict you’re going to make some kind of snarky reply about blocking me, like you did the other users. Because you just need the attention announcing it brings.
Fuckin lol called it. User doesn’t react to my edits and didn’t notice my call out edit for their need to tell everyone they’re blocking people. Pretty sure I just spent 3 hours talking to a fuckin bot.

“No, you start your server!”
“No, you!”
That’s what you sound like to me.
