How to prevent those people from joining? I don’t think you can.
On the other hand, Reddit communities never got that terrible, right? Not all of them at least - it’s more that the platform turned to shit. Lemmy prevents that from happening. The concept of communities moderating themselves seems to work pretty well.
I don’t think it’s impossible. We should be wary, enshittification might find new ways to ruin even the fediverse. I don’t know how, and I’m not pessimistic. But we should not assume we’re safe from the phenomenon.
What really helps is that fediverse users are quite aware of the ideology behind federated social networks. I think, indeed, they won’t all stay on a server that is federated with Threads if it threatens the fedi network.
It’s part of the reason you don’t see the lemmy.world instance in the lemmy server browser.
On join-lemmy.org you mean? I didn’t know that, but that’s great to see. Lemmy.world has become pretty big.
Even if, for instance, Threads was widely allowed to federate with Mastodon servers?
Photos are stored in iCloud but originals of every photo is kept on both my iPhone and Mac. Plex library, it is stored with Unraid Parity, and additionally I’ve got all the magnet links in one spreadsheet.
Edit: oh no, downvote! Why?

Unrelated question, how does Piefed differ from Lemmy? Is it designed to exist alongside Lemmy, or is it a better alternative somehow?
