fediverse soon
(lemmy.world)
Beehaw did it already :)
Not that I blame them.
Beehaw's degeneration is actually temporary. They said they would like to refederate with major instances when there's better mod tools available. The problem is they're only 4 admins and don't really have the capability to moderate that well right now.

We know, they continually remind us.
In your entire comment history, this is actually the least hostile comment you've ever made. Amazing

Yes, that is good communication. Most people only look at the latest thing. By repeating themselves, the message is the latest thing multiple times, meaning more people see it. Repetition is not a bad thing in mass communications. They're doing a good job

yeah, that's what i've read. They're protecting their people, and that's an admirable thing. Wonder where cross instances admin tools are on the roadmap.
In any case our equivalent federated communities are coming up to strength now and we're starting to get decent levels of interactions without them.

Beehaw did the opposite. If you are from reddit, you are not the pink people. You are the grey ones. Beehaw said no before the fourth panel happened.
Hey! There's no way for an individual to defederate without running their own instance. I think my first comment was asking how I could remove beehaw
There are multiple types of people coming from Reddit. I'm here looking for more critical discussion. Beehaw gives me cult vibes.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Nothing of value was lost
I mean, 1/3 of all of my google searches for a give topic come from a reddit post. There were as useful as stack exchange for most technical questions.
The management and problems are nothing but the millions of curated answered questions are pretty damn useful.
Me, who only made an account because I was banned from Reddit and has no idea how Fediverse stuff works: whistles nervously
Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don't support

No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?
Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence
That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it's geared toward the "right kind of people"
I'm fine with that
Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.
Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.

I got banned once for telling an absolute cunt that she was one in "am I the asshole."

The beauty of the fediverse is that the last panel can't happen.
We control our own instances. There's no world where admins wouldn't defederate from any Facebook attempt to barge in.
Maybe a few larger instances sell out, but users hold the power here now. If an admin betrays our trust, we'll just make a new instance.
Even more than defederating, it's in the hands of users. If people were to flood in from somewhere with bad intentions, it would likely be from one or two servers. At that point, just block those servers/communities from your view and continue about your day
At that point, just block those servers/communities from your view and continue about your day
But what if those servers/instances are the ones which has quality communities in it and what if the users and owners of those communities refuse to migrate to new server/instance? Wouldn't that be the same case of reddit where the user base is split and the new migrated server/instance needs building again?
DING DING DING. Here's Facebook's playbook:
- Create close sourced ActivityPub implementation to federate with mastodon/lemmy and gain users.
- Offer better experience than competition via exclusive features, reliability, more communities, etc.
- Once enough users have been obtained, completely defederate from fediverse.
Best thing we can hope for is a competitor to appear or something and then have a very split fediverse between instances, hence you cannot defederate without causing major harm

They could defederate servers that don’t do exactly what they want and servers that are defederated might capitulate. The last frame is very possible and we’ve already seen it start to happen with thedonald on shitjustworks.
Edit: that said, I know the Donald comes from Reddit so it’s not the best example. But it’s an example of the method by which the last panel could happen.

Dude... Like....
Duuuude...
I don't know how to phrase this, but Reddit was getting filled with... Normal people? Nongeeks? The socially adept?
I'm sooo glad to be back with silly peeps. I missed that sense of critical self awareness haha. And I've been able to express some controversial opinions without getting locked and banned, which is mellowing as fuck.

This works on so many levels
It really does. My first thought was a lot of cities where it's run down and depressed and the more hipster artsy types show up for the cheap property and make something interesting. Eventually the affluent catch wind and show up to take advantage of what was created and price the originals out.
Sorry everyone I'm gonna be going now before it gets too crowded. ..jk. this is a great meme btw.
“include this”, “include that”, bitch, I don’t want your propaganda in my place, gtfo
This is one of the biggest aspects I looking forward to with a federated future. It will be easier than ever to pack up and start your own thing, and it can be as connected/disconnected from the old thing, as you want.
Something like this could happen. Some instance admins of Fediverse instance admins met with Facebook. They are trying to include facebooks services to fediverse. I hope they wont do that. Otherwise this meme gets reality.

I mean, that's what already happened with Lemmingrad.
I personally don't care what their opinions are, but funny thing is that they can defederate from pretty much all instances where they feel attacked. As long as this doesn't change in the future with the fediverse, I'm okay with that
