I know that many people don’t like their defederation decision but I think they did it in good faith. And they did state they want to refederate with the two instances once the mod tools are in place.

For kbin, they did mention the reasoning behind.

To be clear there are problematic users on nearly every instance. I’ve had to moderate quite a few kbin users, but it’s not standing out from the pack as a particularly problematic place as of this moment.

As for lemmy.ml, I have a stupid theory that since the signup is closed, those spammers cannot get accounts over there.

Wait, in kindergarten you guys had workbooks already?
