Party conventions are in August. May is before august.

Bro, May is before the election.

How would you federate content though? A Star Trek article in a Star Wars wiki makes no sense

I’m a little annoyed by the implication that someone who is liberal or left wing wouldn’t allow conservatives on a discussion forum.

Free speech is a core part of liberalism.

There are definitely some hyperbolic drama queens in this threads. It’s the ones screaming “all corporations are evil and no one should want to view corporate hosted content!”

As for me, I am well aware how it works. Many lemmy instances have declared their intent to defederate. I’m looking for one that will not. If I don’t find one I will consider next steps.

“Everyone sign up separately for each instance if they want to see it, that’s how the fediverse works”.

Bro that’s exactly how the non federated internet works. What’s even the point of federating, with this attitude?

Couldn’t care less about the existence of commercial entities on the fediverse. But also willing to preemptively fracture the fediverse to ensure that no user of this instance can ever choose to see any content from any user of any commercial instance. But seriously other than that couldn’t care less about their existence.

Have I got it right?

First you say you couldn’t care less. Then you say you’re not willing to risk it. Seems like you care a lot?

If you find a good neutral non-defederating lemmy instance please let me know

Stick to your rules. Defederate if you have to. Otherwise let the users decide if they want threads content in their feed.

It is of course the right of the lemmy.world to run their instance any way they want.

But they owe it to the community to communicate clearly who is welcome on their server. The sidebar reads:

The World's Internet Frontpage

Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world to use.

That certainly makes it sound like they’re trying to be a default neutral lemmy instance welcoming of every valid discussion topic from every end of the political spectrum. A Reddit replacement. Reddit allows right wing discussion.

Whatever their intent, they could at least respond to this discussion.

I don’t agree with your pithy “that’s all there is to it”

I chose lemmy.world because their listing on join-lemmy.org called it “the worlds internet frontpage”. I thought it would be a good neutral Reddit replacement. If this is not the case, can anyone recommend one that is? What about lemmy.one?

I’m not following. You’d be ok with risking beheading to overthrow a monarch. But you won’t overthrow a corporate CEO?

You think corporations don’t exist under monarchy?

Everyone has the right to self identify. “Pro life” is the name the movement chose for itself.

If they defederate we are just back to where we are now

I feel like Threads and Bluesky could lift the entire fediverse ocean, give it content and legitimacy and server capacity. And if the fediverse chooses to Balkanize and fracture in response, before we’ve even seen what effects they have on the community, then yeah we’re shooting ourselves in the foot.

I am firmly pro-choice, but I don’t think pro-life voices should be deplatformed, unless they were inciting violence. Deplatforming nazis is one thing, but this isn’t that. Deplatforming prolife communities is basically banning large parts of Christianity, including Catholicism.

I was unaware that one had to pass a political purity test in order to participate in lemmy.world. If that is the case, i will probably look to move on to a different instance unless an admin can give a legit reason for this banning.

I don’t want to take a political purity test to be here, even if it’s one I’m sure I would pass.

I don’t want the fediverse to be fragmented and Balkanized. Federate with everyone unless it’s a kiddy porn ring.

Give threads a chance. You can revisit if it turns out problematic

Twitter is in direct competition with Facebook/meta/threads. And Twitter layoffs were 6 months or less ago. And these guys presumably have specialized knowledge.

So it seems like many of the criteria would be met.

Isn’t the FTC in the process of banning non-compete agreements? So the rules that Musk is claiming were broken are on their way out?
