Seriously, why are they federated?

They brigade and always argue in bad faith.

They degrade the experience for the entire fediverse. Everyone outside complains about them.

wouldn't it be worse if they were? Federated means it may allow new users who unfortuneatly land there to see outside their tankie walls. As soon as it defederates, new users may be "trapped" in there and not realize there's other instances.

I’m think you are mistaken on what federated means.

Federated means they are part of the fediverse. Their post and comments propagate throughout the fediverse.

If they were defederated we would not see or hear from them.

They perfectly understand. Its easier for people who end up on lemmy.ml to leave, as they can interact with all the people their from other instances.

  1. Q: Why are they federated?
  2. A: because it would be worse if they were.

That answer does not address why they are still being federated. It states they already are already unfederated. Then they give an incorrect description of what federation is. Then goes on to defend them staying federated.

They are federated. That’s why we all see their bullshit. If they were defederated nobody outside their instance would be bothered.

Keeping them federated so users can sign up somewhere else makes no sense. It’s some GOP level mental gymnastics. They can go sign up for any other instances at anytime. The people there choose to be there.
