Unfortunately, defederation is a constant theme. And sooner or later, the shit will hit the fan and no instance will communicate with other instances, claiming that everyone else holds the wrong ideas and has the wrong values.
I already heard about Lemmy.world, Beehaw and Lemmy.ml, threatening with defederation, if the other instance does not defederate from instances they themselves do not like.
Instances are doomed to become isolated echo chambers.
We don’t like, that they have a monopoly on these platforms, we don’t like the idea of influencers, we don’t like cult of personality, we don’t like to loose control over our data, we don’t like English speakers as a whole, we don’t like US politics, we don’t like radical politics (even though I am a radical right, I hate everyone else who is radical right and more so the left. Actually I hate every political position), we also hate to loose our productivity for screentime and the list could go on.
We Germans are control freaks. We have always been. In the past we tried to enforce it with weapons. Now we are desperately trying to enforce our values with generosity. Running around the world and throwing money around.
We are longing for absolute control, centralised in Germany and not in some foreign third world country without healthcare (USA).

Can't believe Russia is pretty close to recreating this meme. Disclaimer: I am not claiming that Ukrainians are terrorists. It's just a meme.
