  • Tell us you don't know how to type without telling us you don't know how to type

    I love swipe gestures on the phone and use it almost exclusively and I'm pretty fast with it... but in no world is it even close to the speed of a keyboard.

  • Why am I going to sell them anything? It's a self made problem that is instantly fixed by stopping doing what the complaint is about.

    It's like you are going to the doctor and saying "Doc, my hand hurts!" When the doc asks why you say you've been hitting your hand with a hammer. He tells you to stop doing that but you say "Good luck with that" instead of "oh right. Yeah that makes sense"

    Lol what?

  • Sh.itjust.works, the 4th biggest instance, is defederated by beehaw, the 7th largest instance.

    Should the 2357 monthly active users of Sh.itjust.works just leave to another instance to be able to access Beehaw communities?

    Literally yes. That is how it works. If you don't like the federation policies of any given instance, MOVE. There is no reason to stick around an instance that has shitty policies. Why can't you understand this?

    You can also yourself choose only one community and only see the content once. Then your problem goes away.

    I don't have a problem. You are the one that has a problem with it. I subscribe to one community. My server doesn't defederate from anyone. I literally have zero problems of the type you are describing. Your problems are self-made. They aren't a problem with Lemmy, they are a problem with you putting yourself into that situation. It's the literal translation of the meme with the kid on the bike sticking the branch in his wheel and then blaming the bike when he crashes.

  • User A on Hexbear doesn't have to choose, he can only access to lemmy.ml. He posts there. He has no option to choose the other one due to the defederation.

    User B on Lemmy.world chooses lemmy.world. He posts there.

    I understood what you wrote, but you are still not making any sense. A huser on Hexbear, if he wants to access fediverse@lemmy.world goes to another server that has access to that. There is a choice. If the instance you are signed up at is defederating like idiots (such as Hexbear), then move elsewhere. It's a simple choice. It's anything but "Having no options"

    How is any of those communities going to die if people keep posting to both?

    Exactly. Stop. You are creating the problem you are complaining about. Stop doing that and the problem goes away.

  • That doesn't really seem to answer the question though... why be on Lemmy.world? What does "the most active instance" even mean in the context of federation?

    I'm really confused by your response and I get the feeling maybe you don't understand federation?

    It doesn't matter what instance you view, post, or otherwise interact with the content from. The only thing that matters is who's federated with whom. In the case of Lemmy.world, they defederate people. From your response, it seems like you'd be better served finding a server that does not defederate or that defederates more to your tastes.

    There is literally no reason to be on lemmy.world in the fediverse.

  • Maybe you didn't understand what I wrote? Stop subscribing to both. Only interact with one. If that's the one people agree with, the other will die.

    There is literally no reason to cross post to both of them. Stop doing that. Stop subscribing to both. Pick one and let the other die. The entire reason there are two is because you keep subscribing and posting to both of them. It will continue to be that way until you be the change you want to see.

    If your instance has defederated, maybe it's time to find a new instance that isn't a POS? Every user has a choice. You can choose to go to an instance that isn't reactionary and arbitrary in their defederation policies. The whole point of the Fediverse is so you DO have a choice; that's the foundation of the entire Fediverse. There are many instances that are federated with both if you are wanting content from both. Just because one instance defederates from another doesn't somehow now make you beholden to one instance.

  • You can usually tell they are Eurotrash or incel Eastern European within the first 6 words for those types. I just end up blocking them.

    I find most Europeans don't understand the size of the US and think thier tiny county somehow equates to what works in a country the size of the US. It's completely lost on them that the EU would be a more apt comparison and the dysfunction between the EU members puts the US dysfunction to shame, but the irony of that is lost on them. By comparison, the member states of the US are effectively a cohesive unit and we act as one and the states have each other's backs even when not required. We have interstate rivalry, but it's mostly good natured and completely forgotten when there's an outside threat. The EU, on the other hand, is a bunch of fiercely proud, independent entities that can barely function when lumped together and they tend to throw each other under the bus when it suits them. The hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance is incredible.

    The US has it's problem, oh yes, but the EU isn't an example of how to run a union by any stretch and what works in a tiny country doesn't work in one where a single state is larger and more populace than that entire country.

    When you can drive across a country in 2 or 3 hours, I just can't take it seriously as a country. It's like a clown car of a country.
