i once read a thread where they were saying to defederate from everyone. then why federate in the first place

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Their instance, I gather, is set to NOT federate with anyone by default, and their admins need to manually add other instances to their federation. Most instances are set to federate by default, so they need to un-federate with another instance here and there.

They vote on who to Federate with

[–] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

They’re whitelist for federation, yeah.

Some whine that they did not want federation in the first place and the mods did it without their consent. Slightly ironic considering they do not like democracy (although they claim you can have democracy without voting...somehow).

Every hexbear person I have come across thinks China is a democracy despite people not being able to at least vote for their representatives.

Since when do people in China not get to vote for their representatives?

There are literally millions of elections in China every year, what the actual fuck are you talking about? Who told you they don’t vote for their representatives? They lied to you.
