What cause are they furthering though?

No, they gave up their nukes for the promise of Ukrainian independence and it was seen as good deal because Moscow still held sole control over all launch sequences.

You have no idea what a Nazi is and your usage only waters down its meaning.

Is it really a racket though? Most artists are not tech geeks and desire cultivated feeds instead of .. none.

I like to emphasize " if both wish to".

If that's included in your view, then what's the point of using a unified protocol? At that point we're more backwards than just using a SSO for everything.

You're probably right on me completely misidentifying the fediverse for what it is, as i expected something like resources shared forums for everyone, but got greeted by admin drama as soon as leaving lemmy for a second. In that sense the fediverse really got a PR issue and users here acting high and mighty to someone not getting their perfect system truly isn't helping it.

Gonna wait for bluesky to play out. ATproto seems a lot more than what i initially expected from activitypub.

As far as I understand it, content posted to one server gets stored on every federated server for the other server's users to see.

This is wrong, else every self hosted instance would've been a storage nightmare.

There have been instances that were defederated for posting nazi / racist content, and CSAM

I assume the later is something CP? Yes, those are legimite cases, just like spam/DdoS, but even then in every case i've seen yet, a Limit would've been enough. A pretty good example seems to be qoto.

Please enlighten me then. I'm completely oblivious besides everyone here turning into condescending tones without giving proper answers.

A user should be able to interact with every other user if both wish to.

That's the problem, as that isn't possible right now, unless your twitter circle took just the right instances for themselves. Sure there is self hosting, but down that road of argument eventually everyone will be self hosting.

"People can just look away!" is a terrible analogy cause they wouldn't have to look at an ad if it is hidden. Yet at limiting they would still be able to walk into their store and buy something. Right now blocking is removing the ad, the store and all its personal altogether.

"People who are unhappy can just leave." is the same argument you are trying to impose. To where, i ask you. Nevermind needing to leave your current toots all behind, it's a terrible suggestion and horrible UX.

In short i just jumped into the whole Mastodon blocking drama and am somewhat disappointed to see it as childish as reddit's power mod drama. Accelerated by the fact that a Limit/Mute option exist just fine, i wonder why Block/Defederation is an option at all. It only moves power from the user to admins without anything in return. With just Mute, as far as i can tell, one still wouldn't have to look on certain instances, but could interact/whitelist certain individuals and we'd get rid of the multi account requirement overnight. So why isn't it that way?

Edit: For those annoyed by the same siloing issues, look into ATProto. Bluesky may be a big unknown, but the protocol itself looks a lot more promising in terms of user freedom.
