Just looking at this post as an example, on lemmy.world show it has 29 comments, but when i open it, there are now only 3 or 4. I replied to one comment, the user i replied to got banned, and the whole comment tree is gone from lemmy.world. Other instances still show all comments, including those from the banned user and my reply. I think it’s very confusing when a single post appears with different comments on different instances, and have no idea how this works.

Edit: why am i forced to upload a photo for a new post?

    IMO, the average person not embracing the fediverse has much less to do with any flaws in the fediverse (these do exist, don’t get me wrong) and much more to do with inertia, the network effect, and just lack of knowledge or fucks to give about privacy and open platforms.

    It’s also probably hugely impacted by a lack of advertisement and corporate backing. That’s just the way it goes.
