Hi, there have been some controversy on lemmy and in particular lemmy.ml with regards to affiliation with Putin.
I was wondering what were the point of view of the owner of Lemmy.world on the topic.

Does it accomplish much? The same users can just create accounts on lemmy.ml or here.
The brigading is an issue, but defederating doesn’t seem like a huge help right now.
Doesn’t defederating mean posts won’t show up? That seems like probably the main reason to defederate. You’ll never stop people from creating new accounts or a new instance, but defederating creates friction forcing people to take an alternative route if they want to troll.
Regarding lemmygrad, has there been any trolling via alt accounts on instances that have defederated? Even if I disagree with their politics they seem generally respectful of the communities. But I’ve been away from Lemmy for a while so maybe I’ve missed something.
Oxygen of publicity spreads toxicity. Defederation would take away a huge part of their potential to reach people, if they’re being toxic.
It makes it harder. I doubt most people are that determined.
