MODERATORS

Defederation is a thing ... anyone for whom this community is a main draw and not yet committed to a Lemmy instance would do well to pitch their tent on lemmy.world (self.austin)

So, the instance I joined Lemmy on last week largely to participate here defederated from lemmy.world an hour ago. It's early post-Reddit days, which is the only reason I'm posting a general tech tip in ~~/r/~~!austin, but it's a previously impossible inconvenience that isn't theoretical. Choose wisely or start your collection of alts early!

Lemmy.ml decided to defederate because they said users would sign up on other sites and then troll the mods. Instead of asking others for help moderating, they decided to not participate in the global fedeverse.

Lemmy.world has lots of users willing to help mod and a server operator that cares. That's why I will stay here.

Where have .ml said they are defederating?

They are still showing as linked in their instances page

Apologies, I meant beehaw, still getting used to the multiple server concept! lemmy.ml is just overloaded, its Beehaw that was making news today for unfederating.
