This is the reason why Lemmy doesn't grow as much as it could. Keep defederating until all instances are single islands with 10 users each and no useful content.
Yes, I'm sure the reason we don't grow is because we refuse to federate with nazi and pedo content. Oh what will the fediverse do without these folks.
Yeah sure, in the same way that piracy was defederated or other multiple instances about nothing illegal.
Name one reason why anyone should federate with any of the listed instances. I'll wait.
Just because there are bad places on the street it doesn't mean people shouldn't be allowed to go there.
Is anyone keeping you from opening the bad instance in your browser? No.
If you want to go there, make an account there.
None of these instances are Lemmy (or anything other on threadiverse)
To a degree. I think lemmy wont grow because only socially inept nerd losers frequent this site.
What about everything else that isn't "socially inept nerd losers" that is also defederated because someone felt like it. This is the same issues that we've with "freedom of speech", if you block some it's a slippery slope and you'll eventually block what you shouldn't. Look I don't approve the actions and content those people post, for let's not open precedents here.
I disagree with tankies, social justice warriors and nazis. I would only defederate the latter.
Tankies get banned when they inevitably excuse a holocaust and social justice warriors can only cry on the internet all day about why nobody gives them free shit just for existing and how people who have more than them are monsters.
There, i opened the can of worms.
Fuck Nazis, but the biggest Problem lemmy has is the first 2.
Lemmy has no good content that isn't "having money is genocide" and "haha this guy doesnt use Linux"
It won't do well but ill stand on the side and watch them.
Finally, someone with common sense.
