I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!
Let's hope a moderated and federated version means any communities of that persuasion can hive themselves off.
The best part about that is they can start their own instance, and your instances admins can block their instance so you'll never have to see it(as beehaw does with lemmygrad). Or if you want to see it, and your instance has them blocked, you can join another instance that doesn't block them or their actual instance.
I think it will work out great if we get a critical mass of content contributors.
