Following the announcement by beehaw admins to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, there has been many posts and messages regarding that decisions and what other instances will do.

I personally believe Lemmy/kbin can only thrive if there is a free flow of content between different instances, with instance admins taking a back seat and focusing more on the infrastructure and making sure the technical bugs are smoothened out. Community mods can moderate their communities, and users can block the communities they don't find appealing (there's even a toggle in settings to hide every NSFW post from your feed altogether).

We don't want to create walled gardens, nor do we want to make Lemmy more confusing than it already is for new users. We will not be defederating from any instance if there is even one good community on it that our instance users might find useful. So far we have only blocked lemmygrad.ml, and right now we have no plans to block anyone else.

I just want to be able to control what I see. I have no desire to control what other people see and I sure as fuck don't want other people to control what I see.

That's it. That's my entire position on the matter.

I am dismayed with how many people want to control what others can see.

Yeah that's why it's not going to last here. Like honestly I'm going to leave eventually because it's really annoying and it kills the experience for me and it just makes me want to argue with everybody to how judgmental and asinine they are

this makes me want to spin up my own instance just for myself to follow other communities, I guess that would be the best way to do it

Beehaw defederated because of users, not communities though. They wanted to control who could comment, not what people could see.

Their intent is irrelevant to my point.
