I really really don't think it'll be inundated. Some will come in and get educated, some dunked, and some banned, depending on what they are up to. If it actually ends up being too much, it's not difficult to reverse the decision.
I think that we will start slow with lemmygradgrad and stuff. I think "phase 3" will be opening it to all by default (or a highly permissive in general), but only after we have better controls on what comms/posts our guests would be able to see.
Maybe Lemmygrad can do whatever, but megathreads and the politics comm are hidden from most instances. Maybe we have the ability to create a c/local that only users with Hexbear accounts can see.
maybe, but the site almost imploded when that vegan subreddit lifeboated here. it might not be a great comparison but i still think trouble like that is plausible.
Yeah I didn't realize the vegan struggle sessions had this history. Ironically this is a really insightful Marxist analysis (i.e. struggle sessions rooted in these material conditions)
lemmy.world because that's where I mainly am
we would be inundated with libs and it would stop feeling cozy imo

I like this kind of radical thinking, open the floodgates, close them as needed.
We need some time to stabilize the technical changes we just did, but I have trust in our mod team to guide us through the next phase of federation
Also some of our more popular posts get enough votes that I think they'd show up on All in other lemmys.
Every news / general megathread will hit the front page of Lemmy

For those who weren't here during those dark times, what happened?
some people got into vicious arguments and there were some big struggle sessions lol
Is that what the vegan wars were about? I had no idea. I thought people were just really, really serious about lentils.

Pretty sure that's going to happen no matter what
