This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating.
I see a lot of people saying they’d love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.
I truly don’t get this.
I’m not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I’d be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It’s just a community of real people having conversations.
If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.
PD: I hope this doesn’t come across as wall-keeping (or however it’s said lol), It’s my honest opinion.
Gmail blocks a ton of smaller email services for generating spam / scams / malicious activity, just because a protocol is open doesn’t mean it has to tolerate problematic content.
im honestly surprised you’re using kbin or any federated service with that take lol, how could you simultaneously be for federation but also against it?
Gmail at least pushes smaller mail servers into spam, which isn’t even the worst thing when compared to outlook which just straight up blackholes email if it isn’t coming from one of the major email corporations nowadays. Email was meant to be federated, not to be monopolised by microsoft, google or yahoo…

This is a silly perspective to me, but apparently it is a common misconception about federation.
IMO, just because you can federate doesn’t mean you should… In fact, the ability to defederate is one of the most appealing aspects of a federated system, as a means of mitigating problematic content.
