On one hand, I get it because Lemmy has been constantly bombarded with DDoS attacks to where, one moment you’re viewing something, next click and it’s back to that familiar screen of checking the browser, you and host. So it is annoying and I get why admins would want to announce and bring things elsewhere.

HOWEVER

What would’ve made it more fitting, is if they picked another federated platform, like Mastodon, to announce things.
