        You lose comment history and all that jazz too but it’s better than nothing. I’m not sure if devs plan to implement a way to do it but it’s one of the reasons I decided to roll my own instance. Nothing more frustrating than using someone else’s and losing access while they take days to get it back up.

      They’re quick when it comes to defederating lefties. Not so much with toxic right wingers.

      In all seriousness though, some apps copy subbed communities. Having a backup lemmy is useful.

        I need more data on that first point. Everyone’s defederation rationales and strategies have evolved over the last few months.

          Exploding heads was slow. Hexbear was instantaneous.

          Read the Hexbear defederation post if you want to see how subjective it actually was.

          Don’t get me wrong, commies are badly misguided, but they can hold a good faith rational debate.

            I think I’ll have to see how quickly they make a decision on other instances in the future.

            The hexbear defederation did seem odd to me since the rationale was the admins there reminding their users to follow other instances rules?

            Idk, I’m glad I can still see hexbear comments. I may not agree with them but at least they appear more literate than the exploding heads users.
