yes, some comments are so extreme like "i hope their community dies off".
Dude, like... wtf? seems like they did good by separating even if temporarily.
I'll try and create an account over there because I like the idea of a safe space to discuss some topics that are sensitive to the users but in any case I wish them the best and hope that they will be able to re-federate soon enough.
There was already a community blocked from this very node and lemmy.world as well because they are VERY enthusiastic of tanks and were flooding other communities.
I don't see that much tragedy and drama coming out for that so .. eh, hard to take these kind of comments seriously, especially when they show to not have even understood how the federation works.
