Using a term associated with tragedy and human right abuses for ‘fun’ is a very interesting take.

Words can be used in multiple contexts. When somebody does well and I say “hey you’re killing it” I’m not condoning murder. I don’t cry for all car and plane crash victims when my computer game crashes. Life is better when you don’t look for the most offensive way to interpret everything.

Maybe do your research before you sign up. I didn’t know what federation was before finding about Lemmy either, yet I already knew the basics when I made an account.

I did. But a ton of people are about to come to reddit from here, and despite how much we want them to, and how reasonable we think it is, most of them won’t and don’t care to do even 3 minutes of reading to understand how the basics work. This is just how large populations function.

Last thing and a pet peeve of mine: stop calling yourself a refugee.

No fun allowed, got it.

You’re taking yourself way too seriously. Let people have their fun name, its not hurting anybody.

Of course the average user doesn’t know what federation is, thats a complex topic. Be realistic, live and let live.

No different than when voat went down or when Reddit goes down eventually. The goal is though that by having no big central point of failure it’s not as big of a deal. Not like you’d have to get used to a whole new kind of thing, just move to another instance.
