Really, all the drama surrounding instances federating/defederating is obnoxious as an end user.

A-fuckin-men

[–] bilb@lem.monster 4 points 3 months ago

I try to do an "end-run" around federation drama by using my own instance, especially since I prefer to be as openly federated as possible. This is not without drawbacks, but it's really not bad.

My fear is that one day the biggest instances will switch from using block lists to instead only federate with an allow-list. That would basically make this use non-viable.
