what happens when instances defederate over ideological or other differences?

Their users get a better user experience.

    What are you talking about? What ‘better user experience’? If defederation means communities disappear from each other, why not just use regular forums? They’re already fragmented. Either way, you can’t use your account across defederated Lemmy instances, so you end up with the same thing as regular forums, just with extra steps.

    The main reason I picked .zip was the lack of defederation. There's definitely content here I don't want to see and do hide, but I'm suprised how many people here (Lemmings? Piefeddies?) are happy to delegate that task to an instance admin.

    It's my role to determine what content I see, no one else's.
