Context

The main arguments for people to defederate are

  • "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
  • A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
  • Defederating preventively costs nothing

One of the admins shadow deletes comments. I called it out and was semi banned? Sometimes things go through and sometimes they don't when I comment there by accident. Idk, I like a lot of the communities on there. I just don't partake except for upvotes and downvotes.

Also, it's a decent theory.

That's very interesting. Can you DM me some examples?

I've been seeing some strange failures in my own posts there just recently, but I assumed it was perfectly legitimate federation weirdness, which happens sometimes. I didn't give it a second thought.

It was in my Reddit PTSD days and I just rage quit. I deleted all of my posts and comments for the first few pages, lol. I think it was the reddit community, but it might have been the lemmyworld issues community. I thought it might be fediverse weirdness as well, but it was there and then went away a day later. That's not how the weirdness works from my experience. I asked him why and he had a cocky answer like reddit admins of old so I rage quit. Which is funny now, it only hurt myself since I miss a lot of those communities. Their 3d printer community is fantastic.

I saw the admin get called out for it a month or so ago and the leader said that he "does too much for the community" to let go and to email them if you have any issues. That's the ultimate reddit, meta, x, etc., move to me so I just ignored it. That dude is their fixer imo.

Can you DM me the usernames of the people involved?
