[โ] IsThisLemmyOpen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 years ago (3 children) CEO-Proof, but not Lazy-Instance-Owner-Proof. ahem beehaw ahem permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] webbie602@lemmy.world 34 points 3 years ago Beehaw's choice was Beehaw's choice, and reading through their reasoning for it, I can understand why they'd defederate with the current influx of users seen. And that's the point and their right- we all have the choice. If you're unhappy with a server's federatipn choices or user base, you can move to an alternative and still federate with the other servers for content. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] average650@lemmy.world 25 points 3 years ago (1 child) But then you just use another instance. As long as it stays decentralized, it will be robust. If one instance takes over, then it's no different. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] citizen_lemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I still don't quite understand what happens to all the content on the decentralized instance. Say I belong to the lemme.world but subscribe to a sub about, oh I don't know, let's say Movies, on Beehaw. Once they decentralize all that content become inaccessible, to me from any other instance, right? I mean i know i can find another Movie sub on anther instance but it may many be as good as the one on Beehaw. Unless I created a login on beehaw instance I'm not going to be able to access any of their content or participate in that sub on that instance. Did I get that right? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] average650@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago Almost, but not quite. If lemmy.world doens't defederate from beehaw (it's a two way thing) then you can still see all their posts, and interact with lemmy.world users on those posts. But beehaw users, and users of every other instance won't see your comments, and you won't see theirs. I'm not saying nothing is lost when an instance goes haywire. But, it's certainly much more robust against those things then reddit. How much have you lost by not being part of beehaw? Something, but, it's still a very good community. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Sexypink@exploding-heads.com 2 points 3 years ago ๐คฃ permalink fedilink source parent
