Are they? So if I read a post where users from hundreds of different servers are commenting, my phone has to make hundreds of requests to all those servers? Doesn’t seem right
Check the user’s extension. He’s on ML posting to a discussion on WORLD. It makes perfect sense because unless the instance admins specifically block an instance then any instance’s users can post to any other instance community. That’s what Federation means. We’re all on individual instances that create a larger connected whole. That’s why the instance the user picks decides what they can post and where to.
This is a . world community though…unless .ml is somehow able to filter their user’s posts??
I think its the .ml doing the changing as all the traffic of .ml users go through its servers
Tanking is ok, but swearing goes too far.
Oppression has to start somewhere.
Correct, the user is on .ml (if others hadn’t noticed) so his comments are hosted on that server.

Your phone queries your home instance, your instance fetches comments from the other servers.
