You writing from Mastodon where I definitively agree that federation is more apparent. I stopped using it myself because of that. But on the “threadiverse” I feel like its different as everything is naturally a bit more centralized through the existence of communities. which makes the switch from Reddit to Lemmy not as jarring as Twitter to Mastodon.
EDIT: oh just realized i completely ignored your point… I do not really see it though to be honest. Sure if you are on .ml it will be ideological, but thanks to federation I do not have to.
But… So is Reddit. Here the importance isn’t really the ideology of the instance, but that of the community. If an instance’s ideology clashes with a community in the instance, the community can migrate. If you don’t vibe with the ideology of the community, you can pick others.
In Reddit you’d have liberal centrist subreddits, more conservative, more socialist, more communist and so on, here those communities are divided in instances, but most instances share with basically all the others so for an user it doesn’t really matter.
@fushuan we where supposed to solve what reddit did bad, “and so is REDDIT” is a terrible argument and again instance can defederated from each other what if the instance you migrate to also get defederated or defederate from another that have communities you are interested in?
Um. That communities have ideologies is something shared by everything, and not something that Reddit did bad. It’s not something to be fixed, it’s life.
If instances get defederated from each other feel free to join one that won’t do that. Idk.
There’s a reason some instances are defederated with each other, mainly that admins were fed up with managing spam.
I don’t care that much for it but if you are that freaking paranoid, feel free to spin an instance yourself god damn. You can be the admin of your own instance.
Yea, I guess you are right. But I do not think that this is something the federation aspect amplifies, you could say that over legacy social media as well. They are all skewed towards some ideology over another.

@fushuan how are you sure they won’t do it?

@fushuan why are you so soft and can’t handle different views?
Bruh I saw the “ok cultist”. I even gave you a solution. Stop projecting, have a good day.
