Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care. (kbin.social)

Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

I think the biggest problem with de-federalization is that transferring your account to another instance is impossible (or at least obtuse enough that I can't figure it out). Being able to have your account hosted on an instance that matches your moderation views is good--a lot of beehaw users like the more curated approach--but there needs to be a painless way to migrate to a new instance if the one you're currently on makes changes that you don't agree with.

From what I've read, transferring account is current not implemented. It is possible on Mastodon, so it may one day be implemented on Lemmy nor kbin, certainly many people have asked for it.
