A three panel meme of someone riding a bike.
- First panel: Someone riding on a bike. “Reddit is imploding, quick let’s get on Lemmy”
- Second panel: The bike starts to tip over on its own. “Oh shit there’s too many of us, we’re being defederated?”
- Third panel: They’ve fallen on the ground by the bike, holding their knee in pain. “Fucking Beehaw”
Defederation is a key feature of the fediverse. This is probably the politest defederation I’ve ever seen. I’m glad this is the first on Lemmy because if this kind of thing bothers people, they’ll be in for a rude awakening once we get some real defederation drama.
And you can’t have federated software without defederation, just wait till someone starts setting up massive numbers of throwaway spambot accounts
Oh, it’s not the first, by a long shot…. Beehaw.org/instances
I’m personally so happy the admins here actually want a good community. Ninety-nine percent of the blocked instances are cesspits.
