As a less-casual I'd say that got shouldn't be too concerned. One thing that federation has made obvious is that we have far more posting power than any of the other instances. They usually have bigger problems with us influencing their culture (to the point of paranoia) than the inverse.
Nonetheless it's a big moment in site history, and the drama is probably going to continue for a few more weeks till the dust settles. I don't think we'll be hearing about it indefinitely.
Also, be sure to set your feed to "local" instead of "all" most of the time, and you'll only see our posts. I only switch over to "all" if I'm bored but I've already caught up on Hexbear.
