    Some thoughts

    • So nodes and instants are interchangeable terms
    • wth 140k? I thought we were around the 30k mark or something. Great!
    • Lemmy.ml is bigger than .world but world has a lot more active users? Interesting. I think .world will be known in the future as the redfuge instant.
    • Beehaw defederated? That kinda defeats the point of the fediverse, doesn’t it? I’d be a little mad if some moderator could make that call for me if I was registered to Beehaw

      Being able to defederate from an instance is the very definition of the fediverse. You are not beholden to a single provider

        You are right, but nevertheless as a user of said instance I’d be a tad annoyed. But I guess there’s nothing holding one back to register on another instance if that happens.

      Beehaw will certainly federate back when the problem at LW with trolls/fascists/racists/etc will be properly modded. The problem for beehaw is that LW is a victim of its success and beehaw is just protecting itself. Once properly moderated, beehaw will open its arms to LW.

      Yeah nodes and instances are kinda interchangeable terminology, instances is the right word to use really though for what we are referring to today, a node could be any server that provides a function or service to the lemmyverse but not necessarily a full instance, however right now, all we have are instances. As the Lemmy is developed we may see some functions of instances being handed off to other nodes, like a database node, to save on compute and storage costs.
