We should leave the m federated on most instances as a honeypot for them. This way they don’t join other instances.

It’s like when you give a kid a video game controller without batteries.

That would only work if we labelled them so that new users are aware.

It's like handing your kid a chainsaw but forgetting to empty it of gasoline first.

I prefer the analogy of porn though: I am not advocating that it not exist, just that it be properly labelled so that it is fully consensual for someone to receive it - b/c otherwise their only alternative to avoid that (e.g. while at work) is to leave Lemmy altogether.
