I don’t think Lemmy instance admins are colluding in a secret underground lair like a group of supervillains. There is no point since the decision of one has no impact on the others.
Second, many of us aren’t here for the “features”, we’re here for the freedom.
My personal opinion is that I have no problem if my instance federates with Threads as long as the interactions are a net positive for us. If Threads users prove to be abusive then I have no problem defederating with them.
In C/C++, undefined should be the meme of the little girl smiling while the house burns down behind her.
By default, federation is disabled and the admin must enable it. Private instance and federation are mutually exclusive.
We’re all figuring this out as we go! Since the great Reddit migration, we’ve already seen our first big drama with the Beehaw defederation. Some Beehaw users disagreed and left for other instances while users of other instances liked the move and joined Beehaw. The Lemmy fediverse is what WE make it for better or for worse.
