(Reminder: if you have shared the original version in a public post with an old version up, replacing it with this one might be more helpful.)

I want to preface, if you see a mistake in the image or have something helpful to add, go right ahead! I still have the layered files for this, so edits can be made very quickly. I chose to handwrite the text to avoid font copyright infringement.

Feel free to share this poster as you wish, especially on Reddit. All I ask is that you respect the license and don’t remove my socials at the bottom. If anyone’s addition is included, I’ll credit them, and if this gets added onto (or translated) by someone else later, they can add their info as well.

I hope someone can find it useful with the subreddit blackouts right around the corner.

I want to thank the Beehaw admins so much for their amazing work!

(Poster edited; I spotted a duplicated word, mrmanager@lemmy.today noted the lack of whitespace; current version is slightly larger and has been spaced out. You can still request the 800x2000 size, but know it is a little squished.)

(Edit 2: Removed defederation part as it’s not really required. The email analogy blackcoffee@beehaw.org suggested has been added, thanks!)

(Edit 3: Here’s another version making the interconnectivity a bit clearer and mentioning some cool-looking reader apps that have been suggested! Also made the image slightly longer for ease of viewing. I might do some small cosmetic changes tomorrow)

(I’ll put out Edit 4 tomorrow, which will include the date the edit was made, will clarify mlem only being available through TestFlight, will mention other Kbin instances, as well as a reminder to confirm emails with any new signup in a timely fashion. Thank you all for the help and tips!)

    The difference is just that you log on using two different sites. They can access the same federated content. Just read the rules of both instances and see if you prefer one or the other.

      So, as someone trying desperately to figure this ‘decentralized’ thing out, what is to stop someone from creating their own ‘instance’ that simply has 0 moderation or administration, allowing torrents/drug deals/piracy/child pornography. It sounds like there’s no overall control over that from Lemmy or anyone, so how would that be policed in any way? It doesn’t sound like there’s any over-seeing body who could either be held accountable or actually force the removal of that content, correct?

        Any member of the Fediverse can be banned by specific community. That can be a specific account or an entire instance of Lemmy, Mostodon, kbin, etc. I guess it’s like one instance shadow banning another.

        For example if behaw goes rouge, Lemmy.world can decide to ban all content and all users from showing up on Lemmy.world. The proper authorities must be notified immediately so Lemmy.world doesn’t look complacent in those crimes.
