A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

From my understanding federation is having services be able to communicate with one another. If my understanding is wrong can you correct me or explain it further.

Also what is going on with defederating lemmy?

Or in this case, it is an ego driven crybaby fest because someone got jealous other instances got big.

i don't see how this would logically follow—wouldn't our course of action if we wanted this to be something like opening registrations? we very much don't have a shortage of people clamoring to get in here—our backlog is 4,500—and if anything we're worried about too many people, not too few. we simply have no interest in growth at all costs, and we were... honestly pretty fine with being a 700-user instance before the big blowup here. certainly it'd have been less stressful, lol
