I am proud of Lemmy.ml for defederating. The second I find out if kbin social or lemmy world defederate or not I will just move to the other one since I use both. (Edit turns out Lemmy.ml is run by Tankies and also allows federation with lemmygrad.)
- As a paid up lemmy.ml annual subscriber, I support this and am very happy with my choice. Good job guys.
- Exactly. This is why federation is cool. The individual can choose where to go. Oh, kbin and lemmy.world, you didn't defederate from the corporate shills? OK then, I shall defederate myself from you. Plenty of instances.
- The admins/devs are communists, they hate anything corporate related, so it's no surprise.

  Tankies is a word that better suits them imo. I consider myself a socialist, but those guy are fucking defending the CCP (chinese comunist party) and are very trigger happy with the banning switch. So yeah, i dont think this is a win but more like bussines as usual.
  
  You've obviously never spent any time in lemmygrad.ml.
  
  y not a lil bit of commie, lil bit of demo, demo-commie
  
  That works for me as well... and most of lemmygrad.ml, but no one ever visits that place, people just talk smack about it based on a few users and posts 🤷.

  I mean this is probably a joke, but it's not really their fault, their client is likely malfunctioning.

- Lemm.ee is another big-ish general purpose instance that looks to be in favour of preemptively defederating after some polling and discussion there today, in case Kbin.social and lemmy.world continue to stay silent.
  
  I will have to check that out. I tried lemmy.ml but found out it is run by tankies. So I deleted my account there. Lemmy.world are trying a wait and see approach which I think is a bit naive giving metas reputation. But at least they are against Tankies. As for kbin.social I have given the dev the benifit of a doubt since it is one person who works hard on kbin and most likely has not had time to comment on meta. I have faith that he will do the right thing and defederate from meta.
