Jesus. Weigh the pro’s and con’s of course.

I was thinking more, start that business, or start that college course. Don’t fucking jump off the Eiffel Tower in and bundle of blankets.

Does that really need to be said?

So if I understand correctly then, if a mod from here flags this comment as being in violation, and deletes it:

All other instances have to download that decision and delete the comment from their own servers? That seems like a looot of data transfer

Instead each instance is responsible to create and enforce its own moderation policy. This means that two Lemmy instances can have rules that completely disagree or even contradict. This can lead to problems if they interact with each other, because by default federation is open to any instance that speaks the same protocol. To handle such cases, administrators can choose to block federation with specific instances. To be even safer, they can also choose to be federated only with instances that are allowed explicitly.

This is really what I’m not quite getting though. I understand (I think) how defederation works at a server (instance) level, but assume I call you a slur here.

The way that ☝️ is written implies that a moderator from each instance that federates with this one will need to moderate this comment separately… Which seems wasteful

Thanks, I think this might be why I can’t find it. Will have another look in the morning
