I personally don't care much about federation and think it unnecessarily complicates the user experience. I'm here because lemmy as a product is good enough, not because I value its connection to other instances.

I do think we need to get away from centralized services, but I personally think the federated approach won't scale well, at least the way it has been implemented due to the sheer amount of duplication of data.

I'm not going to avoid a product just because it isn't federated, I'm going to avoid a product because it's centralized.

im game for a noncentralized system that works some other ways but trustcafe is just its own thing and therefore centralized. I do love maximum end user config though and trust cafe has rate thing which is great. right now I can block something or subscribe or leave be but with trust cafe I can bump someones rating up or down to see less or more but not always see or never see the stuff.
