No one wants to talk about the thousands of extra bots that reddit released during the blackout and afterwards to keep up with the illusion. A whole lot of sub users on reddit are engaging with bots. In fact, some gullible people think r/place is run by users, and not the thousands of bots run by different subs, as well as reddit admins.
Defederating, at its most simple, means when you're browsing one instance (let's call them the defederat-or) content and conversation from the instance that they defederated from (the defederat-ee) can no longer appear on the defederat-or's instance. If someone from the defederate-ee comments on a post shared over in their instance, the users of each instance do not see each other.
None of this stops you from browsing the defederat-ee's instance either with a login on their instance or as a lurker. You have the ability to see and engage with that instance virtually as you see fit. While not everyone is like this, generally the people who understand this and are still mad about it are just free speech warriors who don't want to ever feel like anyone is ever telling them what to say.
My manager asked what I thought about our back to office announcement last month and I said it sounds like voluntary layoffs because if they cared about moral they would compensate us for going back. He laughed and said you’re probably right.
