I like to emphasize " if both wish to".
If that’s included in your view, then what’s the point of using a unified protocol? At that point we’re more backwards than just using a SSO for everything.
You’re probably right on me completely misidentifying the fediverse for what it is, as i expected something like resources shared forums for everyone, but got greeted by admin drama as soon as leaving lemmy for a second. In that sense the fediverse really got a PR issue and users here acting high and mighty to someone not getting their perfect system truly isn’t helping it.
Gonna wait for bluesky to play out. ATproto seems a lot more than what i initially expected from activitypub.
As far as I understand it, content posted to one server gets stored on every federated server for the other server’s users to see.
This is wrong, else every self hosted instance would’ve been a storage nightmare.
There have been instances that were defederated for posting nazi / racist content, and CSAM
I assume the later is something CP? Yes, those are legimite cases, just like spam/DdoS, but even then in every case i’ve seen yet, a Limit would’ve been enough. A pretty good example seems to be qoto.
A user should be able to interact with every other user if both wish to.
That’s the problem, as that isn’t possible right now, unless your twitter circle took just the right instances for themselves. Sure there is self hosting, but down that road of argument eventually everyone will be self hosting.
