but I can still access beehaw from lemmy.world and post on beehaw - so it has yet to occur or something's fucky

You will be able to see and post to anything pre-defederation, but it won't leave your server.

They did use future tense in the post. That's nice, it gives things a chance to move.

I mean, you can just have multiple accounts, no? I think a little redundancy is good in the early stages.

Or self host and just use one account

Until it will be easier for them to whitelist instead of blacklist and your own selfhosted server will be blocked.

As far as I can tell, I can already do that on Lemmy. Not sure about Kbin. My own instance is linked with 486 other instances right now and Lemmy.ml is linked with 3577. Considering those numbers, I'd think manually whitelisting all of them would be a huge pain. So admins would be faced with a dilemma: whitelist and miss the point of the "Fediverse" or blacklist and give in to playing a never ending game of Whack-a-mole.

My best guess is there will be community-run blacklists that instances can automatically subscribe to in the future, similar to ad blockers, to make this part of instance administration less of a pain.

Nice to see your view on it. It really helps understanding the workings of the fediverse.

It might just be similar to DNS RBLs in email.

[–] person@fenbushi.site 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, exactly. I don't know how email spam filters work. Looking up DNS RBL, I now understand it better. I agree, something similar to that would be more elegant and effective than something like ad blocker lists.

Self hosting would be nice, but not everyone can.

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

i suppose I could do that but honestly only like the Chat, Science, and Technology communities on beehaw. the rest of them are either too niche or just pointless

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Sure, it's just inconvenient.
