Sadly the issue seems to persist in 0.19.1. I'm waiting for the next patch.
Thank you! And yes, i've read some comments about the still broken federation on other instances. It is looking like 0.19.1 needs an other patch, which i happily will implement, as soon as available.
Remote follow is a nice feature and right now i see it as an user pref.
This is expected behavior, since they reworked the whole 2FA mechanism.
I think i chime in for some comment. You got it right, i believe this open platform should stay as open as possible. But if i see that problems arise and users from this instance are having issues because of Threads or other platforms, i have to take action. And of course, there are borders to this openness.
I'm very aware, that Meta and the other big corporations are interested in our data and want to use them for their profit. But i don't think that defederation will stop them. They will harvest our data anyway, with just simple web crawlers.
I support anyone who wants to defederate them, but i also want an open platform for people to have a place to express themselves and communicate. And with the new instance block feature of lemmy v.0.19, people are able to hide specific instances themself, if they do not like their content.
It seems like yes. For this particular case, it also seems like they wanted to bring down the community - which they achieved. The whole discussion raises the problem of such content being federated to other instances, which is really problematic.

I dont' know doesn't look like it. But sounds like a good idea, i'm sure you could send a request to the devs.
I already posted some info on the derailment here: feddit post
Good article. But the police did only seize their mastodon server in a "take it all" approach because of an other issue.
Last May, Mastodon server Kolektiva.social was compromised when one of the server’s admins had their home raided by the FBI for unrelated charges. All of their electronics, including a backup of the instance database, were seized.
Für die Schweizer hat es neue auf feddit.ch gegeben:
r/BUENZLI -> !buenzli@feddit.ch
r/schweiz -> !schweiz@feddit.ch
r/switzerland -> !switzerland@feddit.ch
r/askswitzerland -> !aaskswitzerland@feddit.ch
Pretty sure, yes. I hope the instance will work better now.
