This right here! The ability to defederate is what makes this community viable. We still have the power in this space to ignore corporations. Something we are losing the ability to do in real life. Corporations live and die by their ability to interact with us. Defederation is one of the strongest tools on the internet now.
This is exactly what I missed about Reddit. I knew I read it somewhere, but was too lazy to find the article. Luckily someone else followed through! Bless you!
