Interesting. I might just be blind. Thanks for the update.

They’ve said very clearly this is not an optimal or even a permanent solution.

Lemmy/etc are lacking moderation tools that other platforms like Mastodon have. They are not seeking isolation from the rest of the fediverse, but they do need more effective moderation ability, and right now the only immediate solution they could find was temporary de-federation.

That said, obviously lemmy.world doesn’t have to just sit in a weird half-federated state. It’s just worth understanding why they’re doing what they’re doing.

Every time I read something from the EFF I’m reminded how incredibly valuable they are to our internet.

Maybe, but it won’t be kbin, or other Fediverse sites.

It’s a common enough opinion to want one site to handle everything, but that’s not how this is set up.

kbin is part of the Fediverse. It is one instance of many.

I draw your attention to the sidebar:

Create your own instance

Clone repo and develop fediverse

Several communities who have more difficult interactions with others have already followed this route.

This level of control is generally handled at the instance level.

If you want to host a magazine and control interactions on it, host your own instance.
