I have seen others explain it like email. Email accounts will still exist regardless of if, say, Gmail shuts down. Same with fediverse instances. Unlike traditional social medias like Facebook and Twitter, people can talk to people on other sites. Imagine if people on Twitter and Facebook could reply to each other

The closest thing I could think of is other instances blocking the troublesome one. Maybe if they add support for moving your account to another instance, then you could just move in protest.
Right? I can't wait to see how it improves as time on. I didn't have any real problems with joining on my end, though. When you signed up, was it the approval process on your instance, or just confusing? If it was the approval process, that's probably specific to lemmy.ca.
Looks like it might be a bug. In Firefox, I'm seeing "No video with supported format and MIME type found" but if I right-click and open in a new tab, it works.
