  • Absolutely. If this rule was a permanent rule I don’t think so many people would defend it. However from experience (reddit for example) I think many people know that US politics has the ability to claim and overrun just about every space on the “western” internet. This is not something that really creates value for many people especially those that don’t live in the US and I think this ruling is trying to prevent that.








  • There being totally different personalities that just don’t mix was something new to me when I started university in a different part of the country. Totally changing my social circle and meeting entirely new people was an eye opener. Growing up I thought that with a little conversation everybody could come to a single conclusion that would benefit everyone and work together. But now I know that there just are different people that want different things and there is no way to please everyone. And some even actively work against others just because they don’t like them without a valid reason.







  • I don’t know a lot about running instances and the federation system but I think companies who operate search engines could create their own instances where they decide who to federate with and then use their instances to look for information. That shouldn’t be too difficult and they can create custom systems that suit them best. I don’t think it’s the users job to do that and until that happens the users of Lemmy should just focus on generating good content.
