feddit.de defederated this instance over this spam. Really makes me sour towards Lemmy as a concept. Now I can't access all of the German speaking communities, just because one guy keeps spamming scat porn? And the feddit.de admin apparently only seeing defederation as the only option? Fuck that.
That says more about that admin then about Lemmy.
It does, but it's the way Lemmy is designed that gives the admin so much "power" to take chunks of the fediverse offline for others
But what keeps you from creating a feddit.de account? What we really need is a client that can navigate multiple instances with separate accounts seamlessly.
I don't want to create multiple accounts just so I can access all the content, that is not why I am here for. Furthermore, I don't want to write an essay who I am and why I want to join feddit.de.
That's a you problem.
The fact that you can defederate is actually one of the big, important points of... well, federation. Freedom of association.
As other commenter said, you are free to join feddit.de (and any other instance). They are independent instances, like different webpages. If the content is important to you, and it is not accessible from here, just join them!
But let's not blame federated networks since this is exactly one of their sellong points.
Lemmy is being sold as a Reddit alternative. I for one want it to succeed at that. A fractured Fediverse however won't be able to entice anyone not directly affected by Reddit's changes to join, for the same reason why separate forums weren't able to survive once Reddit got traction.
Saying stuff like "it's a good thing admins from one instance can cut you off from all communities hosted on that instance, if you have your account on the blocked instance" doesn't track.
