Seriously, what people expected from it?

    I love the smell of freedom in Lemmy. My instance admin is an anarchist. We have a piracy community. Such perfect harmony. 😄

            I’ll be the odd one out here and write that I don’t mind not having the ability to migrate. The platform is intended to be pseudo-anonymous. I think one shouldn’t become too attached to their particular name and instead focus on the ideas being discussed and the information exchanged.

            For the same reason I hope karma continues to not be a thing and ignored by most clients even if the backend reports it.

              It’s probably more subscriptions that people care about, particularly since they are spread out and not always easy to remember.

                Unsurprisingly, tools for the migration of basic stuff like subscriptions and block lists have already been developed by the community.

                https://lemmy.world/post/1060796 (haven’t tried using it myself yet, but it’s probably much quicker than manual if you have a lot of subscriptions to migrate)

                A subscription import/export function would be much easier to implement but I don’t think that’s what users want when they say they want instance migration functionality.

            My migration to Lemmy.ca was a pain but it is doable. I put my Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ca side by side and started subscribing to communities I was following on Lemmy.world.

            That would be really powerful. Especially if we had the ability to choose two or three “fall-back” instances that would stay in sync.

      Your admin has actually defederated from quite a few instances. Uncensored it is not.

        Most of those instances are filled with bots. I mean the thing about lemmy is that the block list is transparent. You can visit them yourself to see if the defederation is justified. You can’t just allow all content unfiltered. You’d end up with fascism, tankies, spam, underaged porn, malware, etc. Freedom does not mean no rules, without rules would mean others can violate your freedom to explore lemmy without being constantly harassed. I have the freedom to use multiple instances if I do not agree with the decisions of the admins, which so far, I haven’t had a problem with, nor do I expect there will be in the future. Lemmy is built so that if one instance’s admins goes rogue, the userbase could always migrate.

            Do you think anarchist societies dont have rules? Anarchism just means they reject the existence of a state, but they can still have rules that are enforced by the society as a whole. Anarchism =/= Chaos.

            Besides, no matter how Anarchist you want to be, the reality is that governments still exist, and ad long as they continue to exist, you must obey it’s laws. You can’t allow stuff like terrorism and malware to be on your platform, you’ll get shut down. Do you think we don’t want to share direct link to pirated content? We can’t because that would get us a lot of trouble with some government.

            What does that have to do with anarchism? User created and moderated spaces are perfectly compatible with anarchism, imo.

              But Fox News, OAN, CNN, and MSNBC told me anarchy was no rules! I bet you’re just one of those Antifa communist false flag crisis actors paid for by China, George Soros, and Hunter Biden’s leftover crack money /s

      Lemmy was born on the 4th of July for many users who created their accounts as part of this big Reddit migration. For freedom on freedom day for many people.
