I used to think that there would be 1, main 'Fediverse' with all of the 'big instances' connected to each other. The recent Threads debacle has shown me otherwise.

The point of the Fediverse is that there is no one single entity, or group of entities, dominating it all.

Right now it feels like whatever the big instances do, we kind of have to go along with to be a part of anything. As the Fediverse grows, there will be more options to suit different types of users.

I think it's fine if big instances federate with Threads and it's fine if they don't. People can just join instances that align with what they want. It's not like defederating means being cut out of the Fediverse, that's not possible.

Great design. I'm eager to see how it plays out.

Most instance admins are federating with Threads/Meta. Even if you block the instance yourself, it doesn't prevent you from seeing Threads users' comments and the hate, harassment, and extremism on that platform from spreading throughout federated instances.

Not on Lemmy. Sort this Fedipact list by software and choose Lemmy to see this.

That’s not even remotely true . If you block the instance it prevents your content from being shared with the blocked domain and you do not view content from that domain.

That is how it works in lemmy blocking instances. I think you commented in another section talking about other fediverse platforms.

I don't think I was clear enough here in that I'm discussing lemmy exclusively. Not other fediverse platforms.
