Ahh, it seems like I've mistaken the cause. Thank you for the info.

The secret ingredient is crime
The instance called lemmygrad promotes an ideology that's considered extremist by many instance owners, so it has been defederated by many big instances. The other ones one the list that are defederated because of an unusual number of users to content ratio, leading many instance owners to suspect that they are bot accounts used for spam so any instance with these suspicions are also defederated, not because of ideology, buy simply because of the perceived spam threat. Now I don't know how true is the bot threat, but that is what people have been saying is the reason for defederation.

All/Hot
But if "Hot" is broken, I think the next best for me is All/Top-Day
Holy shit! Someone predicted the future!
Don't talk to me or my worker bees ever again!
No, this just sound like some lazy person's weird vision of a future without paper because writing takes too much energy.
(The lazy person is me)
I wonder what would happen if redditors just start ignoring rules... π€
I don't think its digital handwriting replacing paper handwriting, it will just be typing. Writing takes more energy and we humans are lazy. I'll bet most kids in schools rather type their homework rather than write it. I know from experience.
I hate writing by hand. Typing in Standard Notes gets synced to the "cloud" and also I get daily backups sent to my email. In addition, it's end-to-end encrypted (supposedly, though I'm not knowledgeable enough to audit the source code, although a quick internet search doesn't reveal any scandals, and it has been recommended by many internet users and privacytools.io), and I can send the encrypted backups to multiple cloud services on the internet so the risk of losing my writings are almost impossible, unless there's a nuclear war. Honestly, I don't see why people still enjoy writing by hand, its just too much work for my hands to deal with. But each to their own, I guess. If you have writing on paper, and you don't want to lose it, you'd have to scan or take pictures of every page you want to backup, and you better have great handwriting or else you wouldn't be able to use OCR on it to make the text searchable.
