Curating your experience certainly helps. Thankfully Lemmy clients are starting to have keyword blocks I hear. It's the thing I miss the most about Boost.
It may sound silly but it's put succinctly and there's an element of grim truth to it.
Additionally, do we have to compare everything to Reddit? It's the Internet, people are going to cope how they cope.
Whoosh..
Getting bad gateway on the link but thanks for sharing it. I'll check it later.
This is something that could be added to a client some day even if it won't work on some instances. I'd use it on occasion.
That sounds a bit more logical.
Defederated instances took it too personally, it was by design. Beehaw may have jumped the gun acting quickly and we can disagree with their reasoning all we want, but that's their prerogative to isolate/protect the community they have. It's a feature, not a bug.
That can't be accurate otherwise it'd be incredibly easy to have maliciously taken down "the Fediverse" long ago. There might not be a direct Fedi distinction in the law and it might be too complex for the average district attorney to understand on the surface but that doesn't equate to "everyone is breaking the law" if something illegal shows up on a feed.
Fine by me, what they did is actually a feature of the Fediverse. People fear what they don't understand and based on comments at the time, there was a lot of misunderstanding.
One of the few times I don't care what the creator says, he was wrong.
