The beauty of Lemmy/Kbin is that instances will naturally form multiple alliances with each other. Racist instances will form alliances with each other, and respectful instances like Lemmy.world will form alliances with respectful instances. Think of instances as countries.

Already, Lemmy.world defederared with the racist instance Exploding Heads: https://lemmy.world/post/747912

Lemmy/Kbin are the way. Freedom vs a capitalist platform that wants to satisfy its shareholders.

Exactly, instances are like countries. Alliances (federations) will be formed. It will be an organic process. Instances that promote Nazi content will form alliances with each other, and our instance Lemmy.world will form an alliance that has the same values of respect.

I don't like the email analogy. I think of instances as countries. Instances that are federated mean they have the same values and there's an alliance between them to share information.

But if an instance has a completely opposite set of values to other countries (like North Korea), then relations with that instance will be cut, which means defederation and therefore no relations with that instance, which means no sharing of information.

Exactly. They're hiring Machine Learning Engineers

It's a subterfuge. He's a robot, he's not human.

The thing is, Beehaw will need to completely defederate from a lot of Lemmy/Kbin instances if they want to keep their little close nit community. People posting from other instances do not subscribe to Beehaw ideology.

What we need is a much better landing page for join-lemmy.org because I was utterly confused about it. Initially I thought these were all independant instances not sharing information (federation).

For a a lot of people, an office 365 subscription giving access to Web apps of Word and Excel will be more than enough.

Twitter became a cesspool ever since Elon Musk to the reign. I keep of getting racist and NSFW tweets.

I use Mastodon nowadays.

Perhaps. Or they are biding their time until the blackout then will actively be looking for an alternative.

I used to play EA Games on Windows and I always had problems with EA's shitty launcher.
