I’m just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don’t want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don’t have the capability to selfhost or I would to avoid such problems.

What are your contingency plans if such a thing occurs?

    @Kwaker76 tldr defederation is disconnecting from the rest of the fediverse (or whatever specific instances you don’t want to talk to). I think there are tiers to it but that’s the gist.

    Some people are salty but beehaw defederated from sh.itjustworks and Lemmy.world as a temporary stopgap until better modtools are available to prevent getting harassed.
