If- this de-federation movement doesn't stop- what will eventually happen-

The large instances will end up defederating so much of the fediverse, that it makes more sense for them to just enable the "private" checkbox.

The end-result, is the failure of lemmy.

failure

It's only a failure from certain perspectives. It happens to be my perspective too, but I can understand where others are coming from. I suppose this is one of them fancy irreconcilable differences thingies.

Personally, I suppose what mostly peeves me about these kinds of approaches is that they don't really seem like solutions. Anyone from a no-no community is still free to employ the time-honored trolling tradition that is alt-juggling for harassment campaigns. Or, I assume that's the case - if there's one thing I really hope everyone at the table can still agree on, it's that extreme privacy-invading measures for preventing alts is a step too far: there's vulnerable voices across all parts of the opinion spectrum. Anyways, because alts exist, defederation measures always felt a bit performative from my perspective. But far be it from me to judge whatever helps people sleep at night. ๐Ÿคฃ

I want to take the explanation that this is just a stopgap while moderation tooling develops at face value, but something tells me that isn't the whole of the truth. In the end, I don't think I'll care all that much no matter how this shakes out; touching grass is really fantastic for helping maintain perspective. ๐Ÿ‘

Will note, I have been publishing a few scripts into the admins chat on lemmy.ml, to assist with moderation, and catching some of these types of content too.

Hopefully, we get some built in tools soon too.
