I hereby name thee Chaosbringer

the whole de-federating thing is seriously turning me off to the whole concept of lemmy, it's like little dictators with their sceptres cutting off entire communities from each other. it's a major flaw and I hope it gets addressed as lemmy/fediverse evolves, or else it's not going to work

People in this thread look like they never mada a mistake doing something for the first time.

You are all perfect, but our admins are awful.

They also don't have experience in running this federation thing like we don't have in using it.

This is all in R&D mode, both for code and for running community.

Express your opinions, since that is the only way things can change, but have some understanding for people running the show.

thank god someone else is finding humor in this too. i laughed at the sheer absurdity of half the comments in that thread. people can really easily lose all sense of proportion

I'm out of the loop, what happened?!

Hey jas sh.itjust.works actually been defederated with many major instances yet or are there just murmurs? I'm confused what happens because I'm on lemmy.ml and I still see sh.itjust.works content, but then I'm actively subscribed to some communities there. My understanding with defederation is that you no longer see anything from a given instance in the "all" section vs the "local" section (where you only have seen stuff from your home instance anyway). That makes sense, but what about my subscriptions. If I'm actively subscribed do I still get content from defederated instances or is that all just gone?

Aren't they de-federating (fuck the English language) over the_Donald joining the instance?

Sidebar: saying 'federating' aloud ought to be an auditory war crime. What an ugly fucking word. I would rather hear someone fart into a tuba

What happened?
