Yes, you have to create an account on every instance that exists and always use that account to interact with that instance.

If you keep a central account, one day you will anger the wrong person and they will blacklist you off the entire fediverse, losing all relationships and history to overcome ostracisation.

I even consider making a new account per instance per month. Maybe the process could be automated too.

I don’t know but I’m proud of them for sticking up for what’s right against the robber-barrons trying to enclose the commons of our collective communication platform.

I have heard this meme before, lemmy is not email

Also application that go against user intuition, start with a permanent handicap.

But in this case, this is fatal, you cannot learn your way into making lemmy.example.com/c/piracy should you all /c/piracy on all instance

The functionallity simply is missing and the consequence is everything will be on the lemmy.biginstance.com/c/thebigcommunity and everything else will be invisible (and probably defederated outright as moderation becomes increasingly untenable)

This is like saying Bob in New York and Bob in Austin as different

Therefore for this reason /c/knitting in Seattle and /c/knitting in De Leon Springs are different things that must be considered individually in their own terms.

Nobody wants to distinguish and reads individually about the 108000 knitting communities in the USA. There is only /c/knitting, the rest is hair splitting and exposed infrastructure

Lemmy can avoid the impossibly heavy burden of compliance by becoming an underground illegal service and/or IP banning the Europeans Union and/or abolishing the European Union.

Yes, someone please automate this

Here is what happens

Let’s join this thing

I have to choose a server ? Ok which one ?

Wow that’s so many, is this important or cani pick at random ?

If you pick wrong, everything you write could be deleted or never seen by anyone.

Ok, well I better choose properly

Read server rules pages for 2-3 minutes

There’s a distraction

Later, joins threads

No, it’s five, you can only have an odd number or else it’s very awkward

Well maybe we can fantasize about vigilante justice from masked super heroes then. Who somehow can right with punches in the middle of the night what courts couldn’t figure out with extensive investigations.

Or maybe we could get a serial killer to figure it all out and judge Dredd that shit.
