I am intersted in some of their communities and i don’t want to create duplicates. Not a fan of duplicates for niche comms especially.
I didn’t have the impression that they were all that problematic when the defederation happened either, but i may have missed something of course.
I’m also interested in re-federating with Lemmygrad, speaking for my bot account, roig@lemmy.world, and the Lemmy.world community I moderate.
I can’t understand the lemmy.world admins position on Lemmygrad, Hexbear and Threads/Meta. Lemmy.world has defederated with the first two, but has stated that he wants to stay federated with Meta.
Meta has exploited people’s posts to incite genocide [1] and has been ignoring internal concerns about suicide risks for its users [2] [3] incentivized by its engagement algorithms. Meta’s greed is more important to Meta than the health of its users, which is a structural and moral problem, at least to me. And let Meta use the posts of lemmy.world users for their greed, or to incite more genocides, or to try to destroy the sanity of more users, or… it makes me sick.
But with Lemmygrand and Hexbear, it’s only a philosophical or ideological issue between users and, at worst, a style or behavior concern. In any case, it can be easily moderated.
