the year of the ~~snake~~ lemming
On a more serious note: I wonder if the year of Lemmy will never come. Constant de-federation and churn might splinter it again, much like distros did kinda splinter the Linux desktop.
I don't think defed has been that bad, and I think over time we'll get more features to avoid having to defed (aside from illegal content or spam).
Like users being able to block users and/or communities by instance, or admins being able to set default block lists for new users, or users being able to easily share block lists.
There will never be "a lemmy". There's no canonical "lemmy" out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.
We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.
Not everyone wants the same flavor of the fediverse.
Yeah conflicting ideologies may lead to a splinter-net… but this also can be just a matter of an instance users taste. This is part of the federated nature of lemmy that allows this to happen.
