  • Hopefully this will drive people to switch to another instance, and the issue you mentions will be less present.

  • quicker upgrades

    That's an important one, especially with how long it took LW to upgrade. I completely get why it's more challenging for them due to their number of users, but that could be an argument for enthusiastic users to move elsewhere.

  • That's what I thought too, but then I had a look at Sharkey (and I guess Mastodon does the same), and it is possible to have private profile, that needs to accept requests before people are able to follow them.

    So I guess it's still possible even with ActivityPub?

  • I agree. I've seen cases of harassment before when one person would block the other, but then the blocked person would comment on most of the blocker comments to harass them further.

  • It definitely has. Hopefully this decision will nudge people into other instances.

  • Key forks are much more aesthetically pleasing

  • Sync had Lemmy.world as the default instance to register a new account (might still be the case, I'm not sure). One of the factors for sure.

  • Indeed, especially with 0.19 that allows you to migrate your subs and block lists in two clicks

  • We have that in French, the amount of discussions the new pronoun ("iel", as a mix between "il" et "elle") is absurd
