Is there a place where lemmy users get to vote on whether we eventually fed or defed? Or is that decision decentralised to instances as well.
My point is it will suck if we just have to tag along with whatever decision is made without having a say. Personally I don't want my experience in Lemmy to have a damn thing to do with Meta or FB...
Also apologies if I'm derailing this thread, let me know and I will make a separate one.
The instance owners are the ones who get the final say. Federation is controlled at the instance level. As a Lemmy user, you are free to leave and go to another instance that doesnt federate, or you can even make your own.
