    This is why I believe federation should be an opt-in process rather than servers being federated by default.

    Some of you may remember when Lemmy World was flooded with CSAM by other hostile instances and had to temporarily disable image uploads.

      there are peoples who create instances for their families, who is going to manually federate with all these small instances?

        Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.

          Would be nice if they had some form of agreement where you can get accepted by one big instance, you get accepted by all. Or maybe even a standard order form and application which you can send to all major instances with the click of a button

      That would destroy the already limited content of the fedi. It’s like people hate content discovery for some reason.

        It’s almost like federation is a stupid fucking idea that doesn’t work

        It’s almost like it’s fundamentally broken and no one else wants to admit it
