    I joined the fediverse for the fediverse experience. That is it’s touted interconnections and interoperability with other services and platforms so that I could discover and dialogue with people of similar interests who weren’t directly subscribed to the same service/instance/platform I was currently using.

    I originally subscribed to beehaw.org which soon afterwards began defederating from other instances. I soon deleted my account with them as that was antithetical to the reason I signed up with them in the first place. I wanted exposure and access to all that the fediverse offered.

    I have no problem with people and communities creating spaces for themselves while excluding those who don’t hold similar interests, but in light of all the current squabbling, I just want to join a fediverse instance that isn’t going to defederate.

      Defederation should be just “read-only” and users should be blocked from posting or commenting. In its current state it just creates a fragmented broken network with silos that users don’t really know about because it silently fails.
