the whole de-federating thing is seriously turning me off to the whole concept of lemmy, it's like little dictators with their sceptres cutting off entire communities from each other. it's a major flaw and I hope it gets addressed as lemmy/fediverse evolves, or else it's not going to work
I don’t know how any of this works either, but I’m hoping for a solution that makes it harder for owners of large instances throwing their weight around to affect the users so drastically.
Something I can imagine would be the ability to be logged in to multiple accounts at once, so a user could see and interact with multiple unlinked instances seamlessly. Commenting or posting in a community would default to either an account made in that communities instance, or the next available account in a linked instance.
I think this is sort of how it works now, we’re just missing the ability to make the experience seamless.
Sure, it would be possible to program such an app. But in the long run, there will probably be some "main" network of instances that ban gore, hatespeech etc. that will federate as normal. There will also be smaller networks of nasty stuff and if you are into that, you will just need two accounts at most. I can't see someone who is big on communism enjoy themselves on right-wing circlejerk sublemmys anyways.
