Even more than defederating, it’s in the hands of users. If people were to flood in from somewhere with bad intentions, it would likely be from one or two servers. At that point, just block those servers/communities from your view and continue about your day

But what if those servers/instances are the ones which has quality communities in it and what if the users and owners of those communities refuse to migrate to new server/instance? Wouldn’t that be the same case of reddit where the user base is split and the new migrated server/instance needs building again?
This is absolutely a bad outcome and I hope the pact prevents this from playing out.
However, I feel kind of ok with losing the subset of users that would accept and use a Facebook implementation of the fediverse. It directly defeats the purpose, regardless of how much better the UI/UX may be, and shows they didn’t understand it in the first place.
I actually went to a theater a couple of days ago after not going to one for a couple of years and I was shocked at the price. I’d much rather wait until I can just watch it from the comfort of my own home.
Also not worth it when others are talking and using their phone in the theatre.

I spend $20 a month on the stubs membership from AMC and get to see every major movie release. Blows my mind people still complain about movie ticket prices when these subscription services have been out for years now that make it quite affordable.
I think I’d rather pay $20 a month for unlimited movies instead of like $10 every time. Heck, even at $5 a pop it would still save me money compared to the sub. If we’re talking about a product we don’t need or use on a recurring basis I totally agree subscriptions are not optimal but in this instance i think consumers are getting a fantastic value.
I don’t want to have to subscribe to every facet of my life. If literally everything is a subscription, monthly costs build up fast. I just want to be able to pay for something normally.
I really don’t get this complaint in regards to movie theaters. $20 bucks is so little for what you actually get. I can’t think of any other entertainment outing that inexpensive. Subscriptions can really suck sometimes but not in this instance. Even if you go twice a month that’s still a great value, especially since most amc’s have laser projectors now and they are noticeably better than anything we’d have at home unless you have a home theater. Plus you can go to Dolby, imax, and 3d stuff at no extra charge.
There aren’t 2 new movies I care to see a month most months, honestly there’s barely 1. Having to keep constant track of 20+ subscription services to evaluate whether they’re actually worth the money (especially when prices constantly fluctuate) is exhausting. 90% of content that appeals to me is on streaming platforms first these days, and most of it is longer form than a movie.
Getting used to things here. Signed up with a random instance. Trying to figure out if there is any benefit to signing up with a particular instance, and if it's worth exploring for a better/closer instance to sign up with.
The benefit of having an account on lemmy.world is the amount of content already available on the site. But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.
I’m on lemmy.world partly because it’s run a team of experienced admins, so uptime has been great (once we’re past this reddit influx).
“But once you understand how federation works, it doesn’t matter much because you can subscribe to communities on other instances using the same account.”
I’m obviously still figuring this out, but this doesn’t appear to be completely true, depending on the community. I subscribed to a community on another instance and the content isn’t the same when I visit it from this instance.
Yeah beehaw.org is the big exception to that statement. They’re probably the strictest instance out there, and the result is that beehaw content does not sync properly.
