A question about defederation (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

say there are three instances, A, B and C. if A is not federated with B, users from those two instances can't interact (right ?) but what if both are federated with C ? would both indirectly be able to interact ? if there is a post on instance C and a user from B comments on it, would that comment be visible on all three instances ?

What's the deal with Beehaw defederating with so many?

If they don't want to be part of the wide fediverse, why pick software designed for it?

[–] ShadyGrove 1 points 2 years ago

I think they are using it exactly as intended, the software is specifically designed to be decentralized and gives instance admins the power to de/federate as they choose.

Let's say when meta releases their activitypub thing, should everyone federate with them just because they are on the fediverse and will likely have a lot of users?
