Oh boy, I didn't think about that. I never thought that lemmy.ml would federate with a cesspool like grad. So yeah, this explains that. That's why I'm seeing so many shills.
We have enough numbers to build a "de facto" second main instance which would be completely split from grad, should we focus on one instance? What if we tried to start an instance from scratch?
You're certainly welcome to build your own instance and choose who and who not to federate with, but if lemmygrad folks specifically are who you're trying to avoid, beehaw might be a good spot for you.
