Thanks for the write up. I came to lemmy.ee because lemmy.world is defederation happy. That’s how I first heard of Hexbear. Several defederations later, here I am. You’re right, us, users can block communities and users from whichever instance they come from. We all curate our lists of communities. We are in charge of our experience if we are allowed to. I did not feel like I was in charge on lemmy.world and that’s why I’m here. Defederations should really be thr very last resort and even then considered super carefully and perhaps put to discussion like here or a poll.
