Hello everyone on asklemmy. I’m new to the lemmyverse and enjoy the communities and people here :) But now my question is: what’s the difference between creating an account on a server where you have to go through a whole series of steps? I don’t know if that’s the case, but I feel like there’s a difference between an account on a server where I have to go through a whole registration process and get approved manually and an account that I can “just” register and use. I don’t understand the difference since I can interact with all communities on all servers. Thank you in advance!

      Pretty much every instance have defederated from at least one other instance, especially towards instances that hosts illegal images, ones with lackluster moderations, instances that support views they consider dangerous, ones filled with spam bots, and yes, sometimes out of drama or politics.

      It’s more of a question of which instances they defederated from and why.
