@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.
Anyone can be the god of their own instance. Doesn’t mean other instances need to federate and listen to whatever it spits out. I imagine some metric of quality will come for instance admins to decide who to federate with. Hopefully with a mechanism to allow small new instances to join and thrive so it doesn’t devolve into only the big servers trusting each other
