I thought that was mastadon, not lemmy.
Aren’t they basically different interfaces for the same thing?
they are different server platforms using the same protocol for different purposes. mastodon == federating twitter, ie 'old man shouts into the cloud'. lemmy == federating reddit, ie threaded discussions.
there are so many perfectly good non-federating server products as to make this question moot. lemmy is the wrong platform for a stand-alone environment.
What if you’re using it as a honeypot and federating a copy of the data?
are there jerks in the fediverse? yep. many bad actors.
many server ops will defed known nonreciprocal servers. 'scrapers'
Well now hang on. Not all jerks on the fediverse are bad actors. I'm a jerk, but I'm a GREAT actor!

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him,Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!
throws skull at your head
