It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

Depends on instance…
My last one wouldn’t defederate from a shitshow instance full of transphobia, threats of violence, and basically anything else you’d see on 4chan.
Apparently all that was just a “difference of opinions” so my old instance said it was fine.
The problematic instance also had a lot of posts shitting on this one for defederating them, so I just signed up a new account here.
I think that’s the best part of Lemmy, it’s easy to just drop an instance and find another that aligns more with what you want out of it.
A decade from now if the biggest instance pulls a spez, everyone would just move to a new instance
Fair enough. And like you said, if an instance becomes toxic enough, no one will want to federate with them, and users will switch from instances that do to instances that don’t.
This is really such a great example for why Fediverse and FOSS in general are the superior and much healthier way for society’s social media interactions to go. Hopefully, some day in the near future, unprofitable social media monoliths like Meta, Twitter and Reddit will be so blatantly exploiting of their user base that even normies migrate to free software alternatives and the era of ultra-capitalist mega-corporations in social media encouraging hate and toxicity will finally be over.
