My first time experience here had been very politically charged and I asked about it in askLemmy and I was told to immediately block you people in the options I was given
I had the opportunity to browse around and found out that you folk were decent and weren't as awful as told in that post I made
How do you view .world and by extension other instances that defederate (and view negatively) towards you?
I think it's illustrative of the issues of federation versus decentralization. We still have centralized powers, just a handful to pick from. Having single user instances isn't practical so no one does it, and instead you just have this massive "pick a server" problem that ultimately harms the adoption of the platform. No one wants to have to compare moderation policies, community, features, and which of your friends would be federated before joining a website. This is especially problematic because your choice is "locked in", even if it turns out the site you chose had some issues you weren't aware of before (or if it enshittifies over time).
That's not to say decentralized services would be easy - of particular note, designing something that would still have decent moderation and not allow immoral things like csam is a non trivial problem. The major decentralized platform today is nostr and it definitely suffers from being dominated by right wing libertarians. Hence being here.
