Yeah, I fully agree. It should be something more along the lines of “sane defaults” (seeing all instances, automatic recommendation on signup, app-level migration) than “autopilot”, but I will probably discuss this more once I have the time.

Could be done in apps. Managing federation under the hood, I mean. I’m an absolute smoothbrain regarding all things web (or mobile lol), but I use my barebones, cobbled-together desktop Lemmy client sometimes, so maybe I could repurpose it for other users?

If the site is not federated, it’s not possible to leave it without also leaving all its content behind.

Here is an exhaustive list of fedi projects. Enjoy!

They probably want to jump on the Fediverse hype bandwagon so it does not eventually leave them and their corporate interests behind… which is exactly what the Fediverse is trying to do so I’d ignore their attempts.

You can look at the modlog to what posts have been removed and why. I routinely disagree with Lemmy* users from the entire political spectrum, as I find it more important to offer good arguments than to suit my views on anything. Anyway, you’re welcome to co-moderate with me if I can trust you won’t do any of the things you mention a mod could end up doing ;)

Don’t worry. As stated in the rules, no posts will be removed over politics, and I will not personally intervene for anything not stated in the rules. I’ve made the community on Lemmy so people from many instances can post there and feel safe. I believe it’ll be beneficial for all communities to have an environment to just share well-informed knowledge rather than attack each other :)

@dessalines you’ve been hacked right?

It’s pretty nice that you distrust big pharma, but imo you should discuss your concerns with your doctor
