    I thought the whole point of federation was that everything from every federated instance was connected and I only need one account to see every part of it. The fact that federation has been the only discussion since the blackout is not good for the alternatives to reddit. My whole life is tech and if it’s this distracting to me I can’t imagine any remotely average user being interested. The fact that this was the perfect time to be part of an alternative but the whole experience has mostly just proven reddits “give it a week” response true.

      That was never going to happen, not even in the best possible case.

      Far left and far right are always going to split off. Do you want to be having discussions about race with neo nazis? I don’t. Let them go to their own dark corner of the internet.

      No. If an instance hosts toxic communities then your instance can choose to defederate from it. You don’t have to wait for the centralized authority to ban them. It’s about being able to choose your admins and form a web of “good” communities.

      kbin is only live a month or so… of course there will be problems and missing moderation tools - it wont be much better for lemmy.

      There is no perfect time - some people will stay some will go back to reddit witout any change. thats a user thing not the fault of beehaw or the federation of servers.
