Those were the good ol’days

At first it was

"You only need one account, it's like an email, they all federate with each other"

I was reeeaally excited for the prospect. (I still am btw)

But now it's more like

"your account here can see that instance and that one too -- but it's buggy so sometimes it takes time to sync -- anyway you cannot see that one for that one you need a distinct account-- oh and if that instance decide to defederate then you'll need another account for there too".

I'm still into the Fediverse, it's just we still have things to figure out.

I selected it by default in my settings, but it keeps going back to "Local"

Ok I took a minute to read some of it. It’s just confusing to me, how is Beehaw defederating from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works for whatever reason is not like exactly like what Reddit is doing to third party apps? You want to federate with us? Sure, but you have to play by OUR rules.

Wait, what? Beehaw is defederated? I still see lots of post from Beehaw on my feed.

In my case "archives" is just a fancy word which translates to kind-of-funny stuff I saved in my phone camera roll over the years

For my part I'm trying not to generate traffic at all on the site. I feel quite powerless in this mess, and my clicks are all the little power I have. Maybe I'm paranoid but if Reddit leadership continues seeing traffic coming in on the site without people accessing the content and, more importantly, their ads, I fear they'll start to "demod" the current mods and install moderators more aligned with their "policies".

I'm just meming, I'm not actually mad at reddit

Edit: To those taking this seriously, don't be mad at reddit. Be mad at the asshole running it.

¯_(ツ)_/¯
