I'd like to join an instance that doesn't defederate from anything.

Perhaps we can have two separate fediverses going.

You can always run your own single-user instance. Of course, you quickly discover why people defederate from certain instances.

But if you really want it you can just rawdog ActivityPub.

Doesn't Mastodon and Lemmy require 5 users before allowing federation?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Nope. I run my own instance and I have 1,500 followers, and I follow Lemmy communities there too.

I wanted to recommend infosec.pub where I'm at, they have only defederated from extremist & cp crap. Overall not even 10, however lemmygrad is included (which I consider a blessing), that would probably be the only controversial one.

Thanks for letting me know.

I'm always interested in instances that respect the user's ability to choose what they want to see.

you are literally in such instance, we have only blocked cp or extremists so far. But you can easily switch to any other instance ;D its the magic of lemmy. If you wait until 0.19 then you can even export all your settings, blocks and subscriptions

Thank you for the insight.

I still see no reason to leave, but it's good to be aware of other options in case the need arises.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

LW wants to keep things open for the users, additionally you can 1. block other users 2. (soon in 0.19 ) block instances by yourself :)

You all make lemmy great!
