The problem for those operating a Lemmy instance is that they are hosting copies of the content of all federated instances.
If that’s genuinely the way it works, it seems really dumb.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
And if I want to participate in a community that’s hosted on lemmy.ml I’m still under his jurisdiction. Besides, someone this banhappy being in charge of the development doesn’t fill me with much confidence. Nothing stops them from implementing some hidden change that prevents sharing something they don’t like.
more open discussions can be had without fear of being banned.
Not sure about that. I saw a post today about lemmy.ml’s admin, who’s also one of the main lemmy developers, banning people who said something bad about China for “orientalism”, then doubling down in it in the comments. Apparently mod logs for any instance can be accessed by any mod of any other instance. Otherwise I wouldn’t have even known. Not sure how I feel about using a service developed by someone so toxic, who’s also in charge of a big chunk of user accounts.
Unfortunately without NSFW posts I’m not sure many are going to use it. A lot of NSFW tagged content on Non-NSFW subs. Besides, there’s no way I’m paying a monthly fee for fucking Reddit.
People shit on it because it’s way worse than what individual devs have achieved and provide for free. It’s been in development for years, and it still hasn’t achieved feature parity with any of the big apps out there. I mean for fucks sake, reddit app users still need a bot to download a video?
Games are so damn expensive, man. I could feed myself for a long time for the price of a 6 hour experience.

1·1 year agoWait, did you mean you switched from iPhone because they do that, or did OnePlus start doing it too?
91·1 year agoMods should have never been allowed to moderate more than like 3 subs at most.
Has OnePlus improved? I have the 7 Pro but their newer phones and customer support got terrible.
Fetch data from instances you’re trying to access, rather than hosting everything on all servers. That seems like a quick way to get half the fediverse defederated from each other.
