If I were Reddit or Facebook I would divide and conquer the Fediverse (sh.itjust.works)

The only threat to this burgeoning community is the same old divide & collapse nonsense that separates citizens under their overlords everywhere.

I would create accounts and start calling to defederate instances which allow non-polite (or politically incorrect or otherwise offensive) communities.

We didn't just survive the trolls on reddit. We thrived amongst them. We can handle them. We can block them.

I want curatorial tools to curate my own feed. I absolutely 100% do NOT want any admins telling me what I can't read. And going to another instance is no solution if that instance is blocked.

I don't want to be on a purely polite ecosystem, or a purely right-wing-idiot ecosystem. I want access to everybody, and the tools to curate that experience.

The trolls do NOT have the power to take us down. But the admins definitely do.

Welcome to the Defediverse.

Opinions have been shared and a vote happened and you're asking for the possibility to vote on something be removed. How democratic of you.

Decentralization prevents corporations from doing anything against it, they can create their own instance if they want to, it will never prevent people from just creating a branch of the whole project, that's the beauty of open source code and decentralization. Lemmy turns to shit? Take the code and create Lemmu with a Lemurian as a mascot to replace it, that's all.
