We should charge for API use now. :)

Being decentralized will make it harder to just use "search + reddit" because you don't know if it's "search + lemmy.world" or "search + beehaw" or "search + kbin." Also, each admin is in charge of their own Robots.txt.
What were the three questions?
We have to accept there are different levels of moderation. Lemmy allows for quite a few and there are complex interplays between them. Communities are their members, not their moderators.
That doesn't make any sense, other than beehaw can moderate. Anyone can read, post, upvote or subscribe. All fediverse users.
I used to like Joe. I went to a stand-up show way back when. I laughed. I do not like Joe anymore.
They want to start an instance for star wars fans because they like captain picard. :)
I think the exception is companies “too big to die.” They serve as the archangels of tech so ALL other goals lead to being bought by FAANG or dying.
Can confirm, same from at least a few other instances.
Admins: FYI on lemmy logs:
Example of a federation message success (HTTP Response 200):
INFO actix_web::middleware::logger: 12.34.56.78 'POST /inbox HTTP/1.1' 200 0 '-' 'Lemmy/0.17.4; +https://remote.lemmy' 0.145673
and failure (HTTP Response 400):
INFO actix_web::middleware::logger: 12.34.56.78 'POST /inbox HTTP/1.1' 400 65 '-' 'Lemmy/0.17.4; +https://remote.lemmy' 0.145673
These are usually accompanied soon with a more verbose reason like Http Signature is expired.
Lemmy is far better at logging INCOMING stuff than it is OUTGOING. You can grep for activity_queue to get a sense if there are issues. This is not good:
Target server https://lemmy.lemmy/inbox rejected https://lemmy.local/activities/announce/9852ff01-c768-484b-a38da-da021cd1333, aborting
Also there are stats indicating "pile-ups":
Activity queue stats: pending: 1, running: 1, retries: 706, dead: 0, complete: 12
I'm sure there is an instance that has open registration that beehaw is federated with. It's not private information: https://beehaw.org/instances
