Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.

I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

    Does it accomplish much? The same users can just create accounts on lemmy.ml or here.

    The brigading is an issue, but defederating doesn’t seem like a huge help right now.

      Oxygen of publicity spreads toxicity. Defederation would take away a huge part of their potential to reach people, if they’re being toxic.
