In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

In the spirit of being encouraged to speak my mind here's a slight effort post:

Defederation does not do what you think it does.

The instance creator and admins are those with the ultimate power within their instance. The active users delegate them that power by interacting with their instance.

Defining "defederation" within the context of Lemmy as I understand it:

"the act of denying the ability for accounts within specific instances to interact with each other"

Anyone at this current time can create an account on most instances. One site on sh.itjust.works is defederated right now, but anyone here may also have an account there, who knows? The value comes from our activity and interaction within each instance.

Defederation is a narrow and a slippery slope because it doesn't actually solve any problems. There are many instances which are doing things I think should be banned. I don't interact with them. I don't provide them with any value.

We uphold an inclusive enjoyable community here by being active. Individuals with malicious intent are ostracized naturally by an active community. Defederating entire instances does not stop bad actors, but an active strongwilled community does.

It's not our responsibility to moderate other instances.

I can still see new posts and we you saw in another discussion where I provided a link for you, I replied in threads and my message was seen by people in the same instance as me.

Yeah, I know. :3

I dunno how your app works, but does beehaw-gaming show up on your frontpage or do you have to manually look for it?

owhat!

but it says pending! i thought that means it won't appear! ;3;

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And just to show that it works with more than just this one

But I'm considered subscribed to technology, it's not pending

would you recommend the app? i feel as if lemmy's a bit too small for regular night-time browsing

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I haven't used the website much so I don't know how it compares, but I really like the app. A couple settings aren't implemented yet (seeing/modifying block list, message language setting (because apparently that's a thing?)) and I guess others I don't know about...

sounds much easier than the website. it's really confusing at first with understanding the verses and stuff.
