Thank you. I’m going to research into this more, and I’m not above blocking every lemmy.world community as well. Seems like the biggest instances are the ones with the most uptight powermods. That’s to be expected. What was their reasoning for defederating from lemmygrad.ml and the other “tankie” instances- do you know?
I’m not sure what you mean by “tanky instances” and haven’t heard of the defederating that you’re referring to. Could you link me some info about it? Everything I’m finding says that the main lemmy instances are run by “tankies,” which is apparently a pejorative term for communists.
I’m blocking all communities hosted on instances that defederate from other instances. If you want your own private forum, you’ve got it. Bye Beehaw.
They must have missed the memo that explained how the internet is a series of tubes.
Good points all around. We’re all coming to this experience with different preferences. It makes sense to participate in each individual community if you find them valuable due to their different types of moderation and if you don’t mind having to register and operate under separate accounts to do so. I feel very differently from you on this. I prefer to moderate myself and curate my own forum experience, and I don’t place a high value on thoroughly moderated forums that are disconnected from other platforms. That’s basically what Reddit was, but a lot of Lemmy users maintain a presence there as well, and they should feel free to do whatever they want.
