It's going to be interesting how this plays out. I also see where they are coming from, but severing people from a community in either direction will cause upset.

Lemmy and Lemmy like services are not the same as Mastodon like services. It's the 'then' vs the 'now'. It doesn't matter so much if my Mastodon history and reputation is severed because the focus is on 'now'. Lemmy on the other hand relies on the history of each community.

Edit: I do see this from another perspective as well... there are a huge number of communities being started (I presume this is people trying to either recreate Reddit or to land-grab similarly named communities) but not a huge amount of content being posted.
