It kinds of works like shadow banning because defederation means one instance doesn’t get updates from the defeded one… but the defeded one can still be federated with the one that defeded them, so users on that can still see and comment on posts, but they aren’t displayed to people using the defeded instance. So they’re just posting into the void. But people on their instance and I guess other instances can still see them of course.

I originally read it as just saying ‘different instances’ and not stating a number of different instances. But that’s not the format 4chan uses for a quote reply (I don’t remember, isn’t there a number sign or something?) and that number would be way too large for a comment ID. So, yeah. I didn’t consider that someone could actually go there and find the post since I think of 4chan as /b where it all disappears after 2 hours.
That’s some dedication! Okay. I’ll accept I am incompetent.
Oh. I can’t read.

that’s… that’s illegal?
Thank god it isn’t people quoting posts and adding their amazing commentary such as…. “lol”
5·2 years agoI mean development. It’s happened with other projects before when large corps get involved. Of course, the existing developers of a project don’t have to allow that to happen.
Yeah, but open source it.
Throw 50 fulltime programmers at development and crowd everyone else out. Or fork it with something clearly superior since they can afford to pay people to work on it fulltime.

Okay, 19 1/2 years. Hope that’s more pleasing to you.
ActivityPub wasn’t built with exclusion in mind.
So what? People can run kbin or Lemmy as a standalone forum not connected to anything, if they want. People are free to use the software however they see fit. Wouldn’t exactly be the first time people choose to use software in some other way then the authors intended.
If you don’t like decisions somebody else makes for you, then run your own instance.
This isn’t meant to be snarky, btw, it’s a valid solution and one of the freedoms of the fediverse system.
I’m sure there will be instances that remain federated with them, and you can join those… or just join Threadstagram.
Ah, right! The post is, amazingly, from today. Maybe even on 4chan posted by OP.
