My vote is to just leave it be, since it’s easy to set up accounts on other instances anyway. I really don’t like the idea of instances being coerced into making changes like this, just on principle.

I really hate how this whole fracturing thing is going across Lemmy instances. Forcing other instances to change rules the way that I’ve been seeing it just really rubs me the wrong way. I wish there was some lighter form of blocking than defederation. It instances used something like that, I think things would be much better.
