People interested in actual federation would probably never use ATProto anyway

Nice article

How applicable the concepts of decentralisation and federation are to the ATmosphere is debatable, but they are used as an approximation for the core question: how is power distributed in the network? And Bluesky and the ATmosphere make it clear that technological architecture can only help so much here: Sure, you can be completely independent of Bluesky PBC on the ATmosphere, as everything is open. But in the end, 99% of users are exclusively on infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC. No technological architecture can compensate for that kind of the power distribution.

Still good to collect stuff there

You used to be mozz@mbin.grits.dev, right?

Interesting, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that name

Nice, thanks for sharing

There’s a balance to be made. Ultimate defederation is everyone on their own 1-user community.

At the moment, there are plenty of similar communities which coexist, struggling to stay active on their own, and could join just to have more activity. Note that I’m against the current LW-centralization trend, that’s another topic: https://lemm.ee/post/30444527

Example

• !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id
• !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee

Is this Beehaw? If yes, it is aligned with their moderation policy

This community now seems to work for some reason, the others still don’t

Hide the instance communities.

Instance users are still visible.

For ways to block all users from an instance: https://lemmy.ml/post/22078632

That’s also the thing. I want the least worse instance. Not being able to post at the moment is a far bigger issue than being federated with lemmy.ml

Hopefully in the coming days this gets fixed.

You should probably link to your comment: https://slrpnk.net/post/14805575/11883989

Admin told me on Matrix it is indeed due to the beta

If you got an account that quickly, that would speak positively to how responsive the main instance admin is? It is hard to tell b/c of how Lemmy hides precise dates starting at the 1-month mark, but before then the admin seemed to always respond to inquiries within a day?

It was automated, I got the email directly, validated it, and that was it.

That’s super weird that you cannot access the site.

Now I can browse, but cannot post. Maybe a trial period to avoid spammers.

There are only 9 instances that have >1k monthly active users, and none of those defederate from Lemmy.ml. And people have been talking about this issue for months now, so if I missed a mid-sized instance I would have hoped that someone would have mentioned it by now.

Don’t forget that a lot of users have historical lemmy.ml accounts from before the exodus. I know a few lemmy.ml users that are nice, and it’s kind of hard to tell them to switch instances because their admins can do some power tripping.

@OpenStars@piefed.social FYI Lemmy.cafe is quite slow for me, and I can’t create posts. Might be due to using the 0.19.6-beta version of Lemmy

What happens if you hide them in your Lemmy settings? But maybe a question to ask on the Voyager community

Nice article. Hopefully other universities follow.

Well, seems like we are not there yet:
