- No server operator needs to federate with you.
- No server operator needs to tolerate things they don't want on their instance.
- No user of an instance needs to personally curate their own extensive never ending blocklist of users and channels they don't want to see.
Quit your pseudo-intellectual whining and choose what instance(s) work for you. If you think regularly interacting with shit content somehow helps you stay out of an echo chamber then go ahead and make a second account on those garbage instances full of hateful people. Then you can read both the decent servers and the trash ones and be the fedora wearing ackshually right fair and balanced uber nerd you always wanted to be.
Edit: The huge number of upvotes on this post compared to the low numbers on the whiney imposers' posts is proof of exactly where this community places its priorities.
Anyway, I don't really care about defederation enough to switch instances. But even if I did, you can't deny that it's annoying. When Lemmy introduces some nice way of migrating to other instances with userdata intact, then your rant will make sense. Without that, I don't think it's wrong if people complain.
Most people complaining have two weeks of user data...
And during those 2 weeks I made 500 comments and almost 400 posts. Not picking sides, just saying that I'm tied to my instance now at this point.
You are single handedly keeping the entirety of lemmy alive
I'm not tied to my instance I AM MY INSTANCE
Lol sameish. I don't have that much of an attachment to my past though. Jump around, see it all, share stuff, delete account and repeat. Your friends will know where to find you.
I'd like to point out that most people on both sides of the defederation debate are like that. And this instance has been up for months with only LemmyGrad blocked
Two weeks.
New instance added to the block mix 👌 pumping up those numbers.
