Huh?

I suppose you’re talking about .ml but that’s only 1 of 4.

Uh, out of the top 10 instances by monthly active users (https://fedidb.com/servers) it looks like 5 federate with them and 5 don’t.

Edit: I was mistaken, it was 4 do and 6 don’t. But still, clearly not universal and tons of people are able to coexist just fine with them.

Clearly it’s polarizing. Clearly anyone spinning up a new instance certainly would know what site of that fence they fall on.

I think the biggest thing is just including one of the oldest and most active instances in there. Hexbear (or Lemmygrad) is not everyone’s cup of tea but a default block, or even to lump them in with an instance like the one you mentioned is kinda crazy. Some of the other bigger instances out there federate with one or both just fine.

That’s terrible and immediately makes me question the trustworthiness and motivations of a dev team that decides to block instances by default.

I’m not saying they’re not trustworthy but that just feels icky.

If you’ve gotten to the point of something as advanced as spinning up your own instance of a federated software you probably know who you want to federate with.

It would not crash an instance. What are you talking about…

Ah, someone who wasn’t around for the reddit exodus to Lemmy.

Lemmy is established, having existed very long before. But also they work together. So unless you have some major issue there’s no real reason to up and switch.

Having two softwares actually contributes to the decentralizing of the fediverse IMO, as long as we don’t devolve into tribalism and attacks between the two that deter new users…

Opera before they moved to Chromium was cool

I fully believe the fascism and shit continues. I’m not sure the Greenland thing does though. It seems like a weird personal obsession.

Unfortunately I’m thinking this means they have some kind of info that a credible attack is imminent. Fuck.

Ive got a Bravia. They’re good like upper midrange TVs, like the top end before you really start spending crazy cash

Impeachment is not a thing that’s ever going to happen.
