Comment on Are Internet boards and Forums dead
anlumo@lemmy.world 1 year agoUnfortunately l federation doesn’t work with Lemmy. I have to create a new account on nearly every instance, because they defederate all the time due to spam and CP issues.
So, it’s a regular forum again.

Defederation is honestly both toxic and history repeating itself i guess. There’s reasons for it but it’ll pass.

It’s an inherent problem with the way federation is designed in the Fediverse. Since all content is replicated, this includes stuff like CP. If the admins wouldn’t defederate after learning about it, they’d willingly host it, making them legally liable.
