If it comes to that... It is what it is!
I don't need big instances directly piped into my vein to have a good time on the internet.

Yanno what? Good for them! Not only for swiftly defederating at their discretion (which I support, full stop) but also this open dialogue that is happening.
People forget that defederating can be reversed, but it requires communication and cooperation for that to be an option.

Wait, this isn't satire? ;)
snickers in agreement
Hey, I agree with you BTW. That's kinda how the Fediverse works. I don't need access to everything and everything doesn't need access to me-- and that's true for everybody.
That's why I stuck around, I guess. If I really want to access an instance that badly, there's always RSS.
dang it, now I regret deleting my comment.
Context: "Or... here's a wild idea... let instances do what they want? If an instance wants to act the fool or allow trolls to overrun their space, then another instance can choose to not want anything to do with it."
I also edited to add "If you simply don't jive with how one instance does things, you can [defederate from them] too. And if I don't like that, I can move."
I deleted my comment because... hey, I'm not on lemmy.world, so this doesn't affect me.

How about nooooooooo?
You ain't gotta know how to code to see that this whole Twitter thing is an absolute shitshow.
We're glad to have ya, regardless!
There's so many options I was paralyzed by choice for awhile! But options are great!
I went back to Mastodon. Had to move my account twice more to find an instance a) I really gelled with, b) took the safety of marginalized people seriously, and c) did not hesitate to pushback against the hateful stuff.
It's been pretty nice.
Eyes narrow for fuck's sake what is this
