I found myself logged out and Lemmy. I tried to connect to my account and it didn’t work so instead I have decided to send myself a lost password email but nothing came through. I then realized I was on lemmy.nl and not on lemmy.world
What is the difference ?! Thanks
This is only going to be true so long as defederation is restrained, but I’m getting the feeling that without some sort of oversight or shared rules and standards for defederation, and without neutrality, the place is going to fragment as certain admins just do whatever they like. There’s also the worrying emergence of shared block and defederation lists across instances, that have legitimate uses, but are going to cause chaos and allow certain admins to effectively gatekeep the majority of the Lemmy if there isn’t some standard they have to adhere to for what goes on it.
I might be wrong, but I don’t have the impression it’s a big issue on Mastodon. But it’s definitely a risk, and so what reddit isn’t federated at all and still interesting
The idea is that there is no standards and you are able to choose your instance by the values that align closest to yours.
