Love my lawful evil setup, works great!
I’m here because Lemmy.World keeps going down and Beehaw activity plummeted after defederating from the larger instances.

It’s someone somewhere deciding what I can or can’t see on a remote host they have no control over.
I mean, they do have control over it in a sense. They can defederate from it so it’s no longer on their instance, which they did. You can still access the community from other instances though, like you’re doing now, so it’s not really a big deal. This is how federation is meant to function. People running their instances by their own rules.
I agree though, their rationale for defederation from this community does not add up for me either. But at the end of the day they can be as irrational as they want with their instance.
Are we okay with this?
It’s their instance, their rules. You can join another instance that doesn’t defederate from them or make your own. That’s the beauty of the fediverse design. It doesn’t matter if we’re okay with it, we have options to get around it unlike with centralized platforms.
Thank you for some sanity. Dems are far from perfect but they’ve done a lot of good and can continue to if we can get more in office.
