Why are all the instances defederating each other?
Politics and ideology like usual. It's ruinning every social media
Are there others defederating lately?
Idk, I thought I heard of a few doing so. Like defederating mastodon, that corpo Facebook one, ++. Though no specifics, just stuff I thought I heard; may be misremembering
The Facebook one (Threads?) was defederated because of the real risk of Embrace Extend Extinguish:

I thought .world is not preemptively defederating - it was why I ditched them already
