I am not sure what you mean - ani.social is federated, though possibly some communities are blocked or some such?

Rimu can do whatever he wants, but yeah so can you as well. It seems like he is past caring, possibly burning out by all the Lemmy vs. PieFed drama, like the undisclosed vulnerabilities issue that was unleashed upon PieFed recently, causing most of the instances to have to shut down.

I hope he finds joy again. In the meantime, I hope you find what you are looking for as well:-).
