- bigyabai 1y agoWhich in my case, includes stuff from all over the internet. I don't think anyone's feed includes everything from the internet.
- righthand 1y agoTo add: not even a centralized service includes everything from the internet.
- thejohnconway 1y agoI don't think that's a good way of stating it. You get the posts from the people anyone on your server follows. An admin can block or silence accounts, or run a relay, but these are edge cases.
- ekianjo 1y agoAn admin can decide to unfollow a bunch of instances and as a user you have no recourse.
- egypturnash 1y agoyou can say "hey could you refollow those instances" you could throw more money into the instance's tip jar to make it easier for them to decide to rehost a larger part of the data firehose - that may not be the entire reason they defederated from an instance but it may be part of it you could move to another instance whose admin's choices are more in line with yours
- LexiMax 1y agoOther social networks can ban people I follow and I have no recourse.
- ekianjo 1y agoTrue, so it's not an improvement. I guess it is even worse because when they unfollow an instance they may ban hundreds of users just because there are a few problematic ones.
