I see this a lot and I really don’t understand it. Here I am on lemmy.world, replying to you on sh.itjust.works, on a post from lemmy.ml. Clearly neither of us are browsing just our local instance, and indeed I imagine most people are not. So what does it matter what instance anyone is on, beyond instance-specific defederations?

What the fuck are you talking about

Excellent contribution

Unless they arbitrarily defederate. Which you wouldn’t be aware of unless you’re following specific communities, which you may or may not be able to follow without making separate accounts.

And like, I understand the intention. The fediverse is a good idea. But let’s not pretend it’s “easy”. Average users are subject to the whims of admins as much or more than on Reddit, because here, admins can effectively hide /r/piracy, and you’ll never have known it even existed. Understanding the mechanics that allow that process is more complicated than learning reddit. I’m not prepared to say it’s worse, but it’s different.

I mean yes, that’s certainly possible. But there are business processes to handle performance improvement. There is no excuse to be nasty. Not to mention the sexual harassment, if true, is absolutely illegal.

This is fantastic and if I heard you say that in person you’d ironically be my go-to

Close enough! Tripped at the finish line

I was in like 3rd grade, the word was passed on to us in real time but I didn’t really understand what had happened until later.

Also this is a clever way to get a feel for the distribution of ages of Lemmy users… I like it.
