    Yeah, I think that’s great. I think it’s awesome that something like Lemmygrad can exist, while also a community criticizing Lemmygrad (there are several) all on the same platform, and without any real central control.

    If you don’t want to see certain content, you can block it and move on, while getting the benefits of federation.

    I joined communities from a half dozen instances, and I’ll probably join communities from even more as I get better at finding communities.

      The communities trying to pillarize the entire fediverse over calling lemmygrad hate speech are, however, not a great thing. Undermining the interconnectedness of the platform at scale by agitating on other platforms that they blacklist or be blacklisted under false pretenses may as well be precision-engineered to negate what is useful about the platform.
