In my opinion, yes. I am a long-time fan of the book series and have enjoyed the first season of the show. There are differences, as there always are with adaptations and especially an adaptation of this scope. Just as with all adaptations with existing fandoms, some fans are bitter about it.

Who got together and decided what it was "supposed to be"? Why does the fedi.tips account consistently behave as though they are some authority?

Either it's an open protocol or it isn't. If instances want to immediately defederate, that is their right of course. But to my mind it sort of demonstrates that they don't believe in what they preach, and they don't believe that they can offer a more compelling social offering, even with direct access to Meta's user base.

Literally every repeated talking point I've seen around this is all rumor and conjecture. At the end of the day we don't actually know how this will play out until Meta's offering is launched and we see how they do business.

Also unclear where the "paid off" aspect comes from. The linked post doesn't say anything about anybody being paid.

Mostly because the people writing them don't understand how their post will be parsed, and the post lives simultaneously on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.

Lemmy just takes the first paragraph from the post as the title. So if the poster knows that, they can format it like:

Title title title

Body of post

This is a good question. I don't think it is currently possible. However, I do think it's probably a good idea for the developers to think now (if they haven't already) about what happens to communities hosted on an instance if that instance is shutdown.

All of the posts and comments from that community from before the shutdown may already exist locally, but would local users even be able to keep using it? If not, might there be a way for the local instance to "adopt" a defunct community?

Even more complicated than Mastodon and feels really janky. Seems like it's likely to always be niche. Also full of cryptobros whenever I've loaded it up again.
