I am trying to switch away from Lemmy.world after getting used to Lemmy to reduce the stress on their servers and add to the decentralized nature of Lemmy.

      It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

      It’s complicated, but in a nutshell, their users have faced discrimination and unpleasant communication from some of the other instances, hence they decided to wall themselves in (it’s a very inclusive community, so it’s a bit ironic)

          Yeah, until there are better tools than defederation to limit communication between instances. Might take a while though and I think they only said they would re-evaluate it, so no guarantee(more detail in the link above)
