I mean, it was just a lemmy instance someone put up. It's not that huge a thing, and it wasn't very popular...
There was one, but as you can see, there isn't much of an interest in the works of bigots
Bluesky isn't decentralized though if your description above is correct
Indignation implies that it's about being offended or upset.
The specific term you used usually carries an implication of pettiness, and of making a big deal out of nothing. The "righteous" part is normally meant in an ironic or sarcastic way.
The fact that you equate vulnerable communities blocking instances that house hate movements that target them with righteous indignation is genuinely scary...
I don't federate with any instance that openly houses hate groups. Threads houses hate groups.
There's a reason for you.
It may not be enough of a reason for you, but that's a whole different thing to there being "zero reason not to federate"
There are pay to join instances. Not many, but they exist.
There's also at least one add supported Misskey instance
Hah, no stress. That's not how I read your comment. I was just taking the chance to expand on it :)
My apologies. I incorrectly assumed you were involved in this conversation in good faith, rather than looking for an axe to grind.
Admins know which forks are which and what benefit they bring because they're active in spaces talking about this stuff, and often talking to other admins.
A first time admin with no real Fediverse experience won't end up running any of those forks.
You're not. The only people who need to know are instance admins choosing what platform to run. If you're not an admin you can deep dive as much or as little as you like in to the differences between the forks!
Why does everyone and their mom rather make their own fork than to work together?
It's both of those things. This stuff is all open source. For our fork, Hajkey for example, we added the stuff that we wanted that wasn't anywhere else. We'd also submit our changes to Calckey (which would later rename to Firefish due to a name clash) if the Calckey team wanted them. Some they did (like translation, post editing etc) and some they didn't (such as our timeline filters).
So we were doing our own thing and working together.
Sharkey does the same thing, but they feed back in to Misskey.
And as a user, if that's too much to bother with, well, most of the differences are minor and you can just ignore it all, and pick your preferred instance for other reasons
I will never understand why people keep bringing this up as a problem, when the same thing happens on reddit, and no one ever cared.
