Pseu

A place can have a barren atmosphere and aesthtic while also having content to find, even if that content is more sparse or minimal, suited to that lonely environment

That’s exactly what they’ve done.

A “barren” planet still has stuff. In the 5 minutes or so that I did random exploration I found a colonist hut that was razed by pirates with a hidden chest with like 3k credits, and a random vendor who was going a little nuts for being alone so long. Nothing incredible, but enough to make the place not feel dead on a random frozen moon.

The great thing is that there’s no competition between lemmy and kbin. We can use whichever we prefer and still have access to all the same communities.

Then why is there the option of defederating at all?

With the hazard that such a large organization has, and the likely vested interest Meta has in destroying or absorbing the Fediverse, I feel that the default should be defederate, and only if Meta has proven to be acting in good faith, we can federate with them.
