So, if that were the case, why not remove federation with everything, and require users to log in to view the content in the first place? That way you would guarantee that everyone that views or interacts with the community is properly vetted, in line with the "coffee shop" analogy you're establishing here. (Something that would have been best achieved by using a non-federated forum software such as Tildes, but alas, it's a bit too late to do a platform change)

Well. Guess I'll have to go and spin my own self-hosted version of Kbin just to be able to follow everything, without being at the mercy of third-party admins cutting my subscriptions in a whim. Also, I sure hope that the communities either move into Beehaw or outside of it, fragmentation out of the users' control makes the entire point of federation moot.
The 3DS was at its best when playing 2.5D games with a veneer of 3D layering put on top. The Nintendo 3D Classics series and Shovel Knight were a prime example of that.
Going from "we did it Reddit" to "we did Reddit", what are the chances
Pretty much everything to be fair:
- Email with Roundcube
- Chat with Matrix-Synapse + Element
- My files with Nextcloud, easily one of my most used self-hosted apps
- RSS with Miniflux (open to change, as soon as I find any RSS backend with a usable Android app)
- My social network presence, with Pleroma (again, subject to change, as soon as I know how to properly move my domain to a different software tool)
- My media, with Jellyfin
- Peertube to watch videos from other instances and comment on them
- And finally, all of the above protected with a password vault from Vaultwarden
EDIT: For those wondering, I use @[email protected] ( https://yunohost.org ) as my server manager
Been playing Duel Links and Master Duel for years already, because I can't afford a physical TCG deck. Maybe we should make a sublemmy/community/magazine
I'm really glad that self-hosters are finally starting to "eat their own dog food" so to speak and finally start to self-host their own community discussions. And what better place to do so than on the Fediverse!
One of the nice things about federation - they can actually follow each other like nothing happened
Yep that sounds like what Skynet would write
From what I gather, it's a bit of both, but officially the first one
Banning the vast majority of users from interacting with your instance at all solely because of where they decided to make their first account on isn't exactly nuanced either, and I get the technical reasons why you had to do so. But if that's the main goal, then removing federation altogether, and expecting users to submit to the approval process before interacting with your instance, would have been the better procedure. Think less Starbucks, more of an exclusive cafeteria based on a monthly subscription and with bouncers at the entrance just in case.
