Good read, gives me a lot of hope for this project.

I look forward to an exciting future with all of you.

(Also- hopefully this wasn't posted already)

Cleanest way to solve the issue according to the dev blog post principles is that those instances (not db0) defederate with others.

lemmy.ml is general purpose whereas Lemmygrad is ideological. The first influx of users from Reddit went to Lemmy.ml before Beehaw was spun up and the devs stopped promoting Lemmy.ml.

Most of these instances already defederate from Lemmygrad.

I don't see any reason why they should defederate from Lemmy.ml, the literal largest instance at this time.

I honestly view calling for this as wrecker behavior.

.ml is large yes and has some general purpose communities.

Although, quite clearly and easily confirmable by anyone, it hosts the problematic issues and the related user base described in this thread.

The whole ethos as described in the blog history of lemmy suggests to let those kinds of instances be on their own. Not wreck the wreckers.
