I've been on Lemmy for all of two months and don't understand all of the defederation drama. I just want to be able to view all of the communities and I'll ignore or block content I don't want to see. Simple as that.
I rather like this community and it would be annoying to have to make a new account just to view it.
I haven't found anything like a full report on admin right usage for all users. I'd hate to go user-by-user in audit reporting - At that point I may as well just interview them.
