I hope we'll get to a place where they'll refederate with us. They have some really interesting communities. I didn't sign up for an account there because I wasn't willing to write a 7 page essay and take the blood oath to be admitted. I'm exaggerating... a little.
They want to be the "Elks Lodge" of the fediverse and that's totally fine. They were pretty transparent about their reasons for defederating with us and their reasons were understandable.
You’re not missing too much unless you like the news discussion. Im subbed to all their communities and most of the posts outside of news is pretty lame.
They can’t downvote anything so that’s really weird. Like I get that they want everyone to have a positive experience but how the fuck do you combat spam, irrelevant submissions or bullshit comments? The lean too heavily on moderation which is why they can’t scale with the fediverse so they defederated because their mods can’t handle the work load.
We all know what the simplest solution would be but I won’t say the quiet part out loud 😅
Well, at the time, they hoped for eventual refederation, too. Personally, I do as well. We’ll see!
