Still liked emoticons better. The emojis all look cursed. But i am sure someone will misinterpret those too

Who wants to pay to find out?

I am my companies best employee, and am now a manager for the sole reason i know how to concatenate and use find and replace in excel.

Its true, I don’t want to work. I would wager that any person that won the lottery would quit his 9-5 the day of.

That is not persuasive to me really that they would have liability. But ultimately i don’t have to be convinced of anything. Its the instance owner to do as they wish. I think its the wrong call, and premature in the extreme. So do a lot of users. So if this is their decision then it will just come with disappointed posts and down votes and a little less engagement is all.

I must admit i am not up on the how’s of the fediverse. But even the instances that were blocked were not in violation themselves let alone every single ancillary that might be connected to them. If we follow the same reasoning, people do not own the memes they post, the videos, the books. And for this action to be initiated by some throw away banned rando means anything with any semblance of teeth will dictate what is federated and what is not

But really it’s whatever i guess, it’s only a minor annoyance. I was planning to have an alter account anyways

I went with lemmy world so i could catch the widest net in content. And up till now i agreed with the reasoning of the other defederating.s But it seems like it won’t take much to provoke more restrictions. Guess i will have to lurk in other shores.

I see the decision you made as the ultimate end to this path you and lemmy world tread. At this rate all federations should defederate each other, or just shut down the whole fediverse. We can go back to individual hyper-specific forums on phbb again.

I mean there is obviously a line between what should federated and what should not. But i feel the reasoning here is fundamentally different then the others chosen in the past.

Better defederate from all instances then.

Criticism is not attacking. They made an unpopular decision for a flimsy reason. Its their right to do it, just like its their right to be wrong about it. But if they can’t handle mild criticism, then maybe hosting a lemmy instance was a bad idea.

I think lemmy world will be fine with mildly annoyed comments and a bunch of down votes.

I don’t think this was the right call. Don’t have it hosted on here, fine. But defederated? I don’t see how being federated would be an issue at all. Oh well guess i got to actively go seek them out now.

At this rate, you might as well as defederate from all instances. Cant be too careful.
