While this is the case for me personally, a lot of folks just pull out their cellphones to do the work they need. I feel like we're the minority with this opinion.

Either spoof the user agent, or... Edge.

you lucky bastard!

Someone once described Tankies (at least the ones that are behind the Lemmy codebase) as "conservative communists who think the Tiananmen Square Massacre was a hoax" and uh, I just find that fitting.

Eyes narrow for fuck's sake what is this

If it comes to that... It is what it is!

I don't need big instances directly piped into my vein to have a good time on the internet.

Yanno what? Good for them! Not only for swiftly defederating at their discretion (which I support, full stop) but also this open dialogue that is happening.

People forget that defederating can be reversed, but it requires communication and cooperation for that to be an option.

snickers in agreement

Hey, I agree with you BTW. That's kinda how the Fediverse works. I don't need access to everything and everything doesn't need access to me-- and that's true for everybody.

That's why I stuck around, I guess. If I really want to access an instance that badly, there's always RSS.

dang it, now I regret deleting my comment.

Context: "Or... here's a wild idea... let instances do what they want? If an instance wants to act the fool or allow trolls to overrun their space, then another instance can choose to not want anything to do with it."

I also edited to add "If you simply don't jive with how one instance does things, you can [defederate from them] too. And if I don't like that, I can move."

I deleted my comment because... hey, I'm not on lemmy.world, so this doesn't affect me.

How about nooooooooo?

You ain't gotta know how to code to see that this whole Twitter thing is an absolute shitshow.
