Well I didn’t want to have a bio, but Lemmy doesn’t let me null it out, so I guess I’ll figure out something to put here later.

As long as they didn’t staple the wire or something.

Defederation, Threads and You ( kbin.social )

A lot of us are pretty new to the fediverse and we've arrived just in time to grapple with what is easily the biggest federation/defederation controversy ever to hit it. I've put this thread together to hopefully help communicate some of the more complex ideas that we're trying to get our heads around....

Yeah, the defederation metaphor falls apart as you described because subscriptions to communities requires two way communication, which isn’t going to happen because beehaw isn’t going to acknowledge subscription requests from instances it’s blocked. Instances blocked by beehaw would probably have to do the same type of thing Threads or Mastodon users would have to do to bring in Lemmy content by manually bringing it in via searching the federation link.
