It’s not that confusing. The simplest way to explain it, I think. Is that instances are like email servers. Defederating is like a spam blocker. If you don’t like your “email server’s” “spam blockers” you can chose another.

No need to worry about the inter-instance drama.

I am not a dev and most of that is beyond me. What does that mean to someone who uses their torrents?

Sorry what’s the issue with YIFY?

Yup. I’ve been using Firefox for 16 years and I just switched to LibreWolf the other day.

I haven’t tried it for files yet, but Keet.io will give you the ability to transfer PTP. You’d both have to be online at the same time though.

Haha! I jumped ship after the API ruckus. Before the NSFW filter was readily available I blocked a lot of porn communities before I had a feed I could browse at work.

I’ve been posting about it periodically.

I’m pushing the “buy Canadian” angle by promoting Fedecan, the non-profit running Lemmy.ca and now Pixelfed.ca.

Also, reminding people that American companies are making money off your data, and these servers are Canadian owned social media, in a way.

I still have no followers on Pixelfed, but 🤷‍♂️
