But theoretically if I had TikTok, Facebook or insta, I would still be able to use it on the wifi.

That is all. Just thought it was interesting

    This is a big part of why I think it is a good idea to permit open federation, rather than an explicit allowlist. Gives us the benefit of privacy to browse Hexbear / Lemmygrad content by using a federated instance. Basically allows for infinite proxies and block circumvention. Obviously, this comes with the moderation effort cost.

    Lemmy should implement read-only or vote-only federation, so we could benefit from this proxying while also not allowing libs to run roughshod on our beautiful moderators and marginalized folks.

      I think it’s better to not require constant vigilance of the admins for each time someone opens a new loli[dot]win instance or some libertarian dreck, though of course I repeat myself.

        Hence why I thought this was a better solution. We don’t have to let them participate.

          I think the concern is their posts federating to our [all] feeds. Not letting them participate in our posts is one thing, but then there’s not exposing our users to their posts.
