So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!

I can only get so federect!

Oh there’s always side effects. But for me, they were absolutely worth the difference in how my brain worked. I became functional again. Also, the psychiatrist will tell you all about the side effects. Let them know what you’re afraid of. They won’t lie to you. They will help find the right chemical for your issues. Might not find the perfect one right away either. But it’s worth trying, in my opinion.

Yep. Lemmy is the future of Reddit.

I believe how it works is the comment from the user on the defederated instance and ALL child comments of it do not show up on your instance. So it’s as if that conversation just stopped after the last person from an instance that you’re federated with commented. You wouldn’t see anything from defederated commenters or the replies to them, even if they are replies from Instances you’re still federated with.

Login to Beehaw and check out a post from a Lemmy.ml community on it, and then look at that same post while logged into Lemmy.world and you should see the differences - because Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world.

I think the problem here is:

Moderators of lemmy.ml are removing posts and comments which are critical of the Chinese government and are banning their authors.

Is that not a problem, in your view?

Correct

I think my superpower would be to be able to communicate to anyone in a way in which they always fully understood my meaning.

So Reddit has decided to fight back, eh?

And that’s so crazy to me, honestly. I remember the days when not a single ISP was willing to host Stormfront, and every website instantly banned anyone who was being a nazi. Now they embrace them.

Exactly. I feel like this is one of those instances of “We’re spending time thinking about whether or not we could, when we should be thinking about whether or not we should.”
