When my home instance was defederated from hexbear (you can’t fire us, we quit!), it was like someone turned off a noisy fan that had been bothering you for days. It’s the best thing that ever happened to us.

That said, I come to Lemmy.ee once in a while to see what’s going on in the wider fediverse, so I’m ok with you guys starting federated with everyone as if you can stand it. As long as I do 99% of my browsing somewhere else.
