I’ve been on the Fediverse since 2016, and I still get a little mixed up by how things work.

    They’d have to explicitly block you, after all.

    What I’m concerned about is if the large instances move from a blocklist model (like they have now) to instead use an allowlist model, where only explicitly approved instances are allowed to federate with them.

    • That’s true, that’s a good point. Well I guess the only thing you can do is hope that doesn’t happen lol

      Setting up a Lemmy instance isn’t the easiest thing, and automating it is even more challenging, so I don’t necessarily think it’s the kind of thing that can be done so easily. It’s like 100x harder than creating a new account so I feel like It’s not something that would be abused as much as like creating new accounts would be. I think it’ll probably be fine.
