I’m not sure I understand enough about the fediverse to grasp the impact of this. Can I still subscribe to these communities manually? If not, is that a technical limitation of lemmy? Because I can see removing bad actors from the ALL feed, but what would be the harm or need to moderate if personally subscribed?
I completely agree with this and I think it's because of the legal issues it avoids. I'm not a lawyer, but if I'm not mistaken, the entire fediverse doesn't take a hit if a single server is a bad actor. Whereas sites like Reddit and Twitter need to defend themselves based on the content users generate.
I absolutely love the new UI. It’s so responsive and modern, and for the most part, consistent.
