It used to not require opt-in, but Mastodon users were strongly opposed to the idea of Mastodon actually being interoperable with other services and harassed the developer.

Let me guess: The author knows Python, C, C++, Java and maybe PHP.

I’m sorry, the platform that allows you to use a custom domain as your identity has “no account portability”, as opposed to the one where you have to manually copy over almost everything?

You seem really good at predicting the future. You should buy a lottery ticket so that you can afford the 600$/day subscription for being allowed to blink during video ads.

Of course. The modern way is

<div class="inline text-blue-700 underline" onclick="window.location.href='https://Malware_Ransom_@is.gd/_40795251_Penis_Free_Movies_'">Click here</div>

If only Lemmy had a feature to block posts with specific words… maybe another social network has it.

Buy your own domain and use it for e-mails (there are many providers that support custom domains). If your provider shuts down, just switch to a different one and keep the same address.

Seeing the reaction to the bridge, it seems that most Mastodon users don’t want AtProto to be compatible with ActivityPub.

Did you read my reply? Again, the ways to express numbers can be different, but the numbers themselves can not. Aliens in a different universe may use a different way to denote the number 3, but no matter how they denote it, it is not between 1 and 2.

Symbols for numbers can obviously be different. Numbers themselves can not.

No. Mathematical facts hold independently of any universe.

Yeah, I know that and how the same people who support defederation love to complain about Gmail and Outlook blocking their home server.

E-mail is also a federated protocol. Imagine if every time you wanted to send an e-mail, you had to check whether your provider likes the recipient’s provider and if not, create an account at the recipient’s provider (if that’s even possible).

There used to be a community for this on the website that shall not be named. “Don’t Dead Open Inside” I think?

What exactly is the problem with a bigot replying to you if you don’t see the reply?

Also, they can see the content even if you defederate, because it’s public.

Alright. To quote your original comment:

Yes, and thus you have one giant mega community in which every bigot can access anyone and everyone else.

How would removing defederation result in a situation where “every bigot can access anyone and everyone else” if user-level instance blocking was still a thing?

All I’m trying to say is that if you don’t have the privilege of having configuration access to a network, you can’t “just” host an instance, contrary to your argument that anyone can host an instance for just a little money.

Your original point was that a fediverse without instance blocks would be bad, which is irrelevant to the post because the OP is not advocating for a fediverse without instance blocks:
