Looks like it’s quite popular in Japan.

can’t down everyone at once

Well not until the next catastrophic federation bug gets discovered and abused 💀

No, defederating would block all flow between instances. The problem is with hosting content that you don’t want to or arent allowed to host. Currently if I view a image from burggit, the image gets saved to the monero.town and then served whenever someone else views it from there, which is a problem. If instead every time someone wants to view that image, it gets pulled from burggit again, monero.town isn’t in trouble for hosting it anymore.

True, guess not caching remote content at all should be an option as well. Then you can just block caching for every instance that doesn’t enforce proper tagging.

This issue should be solved if you could just set lemmy to not cache federated NSFW images (without fully disabling NSFW on your instance) since then users would load the images from the remote server and not the homeserver.

Monero.town is very lax when it comes to moderation as long as you don’t say anything that could get you arrested in Germany.

I like lemmies approach of not trying to reinvent the wheel and just let people put their matrix usernames into their profile for secure communication.

Same reason people fanboy over anything. They have made a personal investment in something, be it time or money, and are now trying to justify it by saying everything else is trash.

Then this gets reinforced by their bubble and more and more extreme opinions form. Reasonable people don’t behave this way.

I don’t get what would defederating with Facebook-federated instances gives you, though.

Means the instance isn’t part of the hive mind and we obviously can’t have that!

Good thing we don’t have custom emojis on monero.town and the admin account isn’t used for things outside of the local community :D

I think instance admins will just have to make sure they don’t have bots on their platform and block instances that do a bad job at it leading to others getting invaded.

After moderating a bigger subreddit and seeing just how much spam there was in the comments and just how many people spend time replying to these bots I basically stopped reading them. Here I haven’t see bots yet and at least my home instance watches out that it stays that way.
