So there are a few possible reasons I can see with this

1. The fear is truly unfounded
2. The fear is founded, but .cafe being so small, he doesn't care to lend a hand and can use it for examples should this fear conversation become more serious. Dessalines is a lot of things, but he's not dumb
3. The fear is founded, but because it's an issue that could potentially affect any instance large or small they decided to deal with it. Vs say if .world decided to defederate and then ran into an issue that mostly just affected them because of their size, maybe they'll "give the run around" instead or ignore the issue until it affects an instance they care about

Sorry if I phrased it weirdly, I didn't mean to imply that threats had been made (which I mean, dessalines is smarter than that, because like you said it would blow the Lemmy-verse up if he actually made a threat), but rather it's a fear that's out there.

But like I said, I have confirmation of that fear in a DM from a major instance admin. Whether or not that fear is founded and justified or not, is up for debate. But it exists and it's a factor in the decision making process

I don't really consider infosec.pub to be a "major" instance, it's only at ~300 MAUs iirc, by "major" I'm thinking .world or SJW or blahaj

In any case, I'm almost positive I've seen it mentioned publicly in one of those big threads, maybe the donation ones a few months back. It was also told to me point blank by an admin of one of said major instances in a DM, but I am unsure how or even if I can release that considering it was told to me in private

Well the PF instances don't really have an excuse, though iirc the flagship PF does defed (or maybe it was a default block?) from the entire Triad

But it has come up that some major instances have a big concern in that if they defed from .ml dessalines will pull back support from them in retaliation

Which is always a fantastic healthy green flag of a relationship/s

Am I ootl on something with blahaj? It's been a fine instance imo

Top Level Comment

Replied as a TLC the same, but I'm open to whatever if the other skylines comm is onboard to consolidating to another comm

know cm0002 cross-posts (in an automated fashion)

Not automated, all my posts and crosspost are 100% done by my 2 hands lol

I don't mind consolidation to a non-.ml comm, provided ofc the other comm is open to it as well

Well pushing aside any shitty corporate behavior

The actual cell service performance is quite subjective and varies wildly between the 3 major carriers. Your area TMO probably really does suck, but in my area it's far better than ATT and Verizon especially when it comes to 5G
