How can anyone read any of this? The graphic is unreadable to me.

How bad are these that Hexbear didn't even make the list? Drilling through on the clickable version here makes it clear that the #1, poa.st, has the same basic content as Hexbear, but I'm assuming it's somehow way worse. Just imagine.

Can someone give me a brief rundown on what it means to be federated vs defederated? New to lemmy

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Really basic summary

Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.

Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

Oh okay, that makes sense. And I'm assuming "Defederations" in the image is like the number of accounts in that defederated group?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's the number of instances that have blocked them.

Accounts can't defederate afaik. There's a way to block instances on some apps, but it's client-side and really just hides posts from that instance.

Awesome, thanks for the explanation :) Now I'm curious as to what poa.st did/does to be so reviled

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I don't know the whole deal with them, but off the top of my head I know it's a very far-right social media site that was fairly mainstream for a while. It got a lot of media coverage after getting hacked, so I guess a lot of people ended up blocking it once they heard of it.

I don't know the full story. They were probably just a bunch of trolls like a lot of the other instances.

What is varishangout..net? Initially read it as yarishangout.net and wondered why a space for Toyota Yaris owners got defedded. Also wondering how stereophonic.space got defedded?
