Except you can’t, because this is not a technical problem, it’s a political problem everybody is deliberately ignoring because they know it is real and they know of the extremely negative implications of them.

The vast majority of Lemmy traffic is from .world. No matter what instance you’re on, most activities happen from .world and .world content floods the feeds of all the others.

.world insists on federating with Meta.

Therefore NO instance is safe, because you’ll always be forced to deal with it indirectly.

That is the insidiousness of .world I tried to warn you all about.

I fucking told you all .world was monopolizing Lemmy and that it was doing it in a way that it implemented the same kind of soft censorship, favoritism and authoritarianism Reddit imposed on its users, and it was herding everyone toward it in the same way old social media did to users in the 10’s.

And did a single one of you listen to me? Noooooo. You were too busy getting mad that your investment in a new website was being deconstructed and that you were being burdened with the mental labor of investing yourselves somewhere else.

This is happening 100% because you are all the most spoiled, entitled, selfish, lazy dumbasses history has ever seen, and you deserve every ounce of suffering Meta is going to impose on you and the fediverse as a result.

You’ve been warned
