Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I think there are good reasons to not let corporate interests join the space we built to escape them, but I guess every instance is free to (de)federate with whomever they want.

So let's say my instance (mander.xyz) defederates from Meta but another Lemmy instance that meander.xyz federates with (let's say "misguided.ml") does not. What happens when someone from Meta comments on a post from misguided.ml and others from misguided.ml comment on that comment? Will I see the comments on the meta comment, but not the original meta comment itself? Or will I not see the entire thread?

One of the strengths of the federal system is the freedom to choose to “federate” or “defer” any entity. This allows the community to maintain control and limit Slither io who can participate in their space.
