For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes.
I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...
Because that defeats the purpose of Federation. If one of the communities becomes infiltrated with nazis or whatever they can be defederated and removed from the the base “pool”.
Say you have a base pool of communities for all “motorcycle” related content. Anything from MotoGP stuff to general dirtbike stuff, who knows. Of course there are going to be some communities about Harleys in there and of course one of those is going to inevitably skew towards white nationalist nonsense. Well there ya go that’s out of the pool with that BS and everyone else gets to go about their day.
If they want to create their own motorcycle pool of communities then so be it but they don’t need to infect the rest of the of us.
Of course if at some point nazis invade people should migrate, but that doesn’t mean you should keep both active at the same time (also, nazis could invade both in parallel, not sure how that solves the issue here)
How hard would it be to set up some default community “pools”? More or less like multireddits I guess.
If communities are similar, why not consolidate?
!football@lemmy.world even used a script to ping everyone

But in your scenario, all the communities have different niches: GP, dirtbike, Harley
In the article, the scenario is taken about identical communities, like !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@lemm.ee
