I mean, at WORST they’re hypocrites making an otherwise excellent point.

At best they’re already aware of and dealing with their own grid problems, meaning that there’s no hypocrisy 🤷

On one hand, I’m tempted to crosspost it to those and lemmygrad now I’m on an instance defederated from either none of them or only grad.

On the other hand, that would be fun for a couple seconds (minutes if I’m lucky) and then all kinds of annoying for hours if not days lol, depending on how ban happy admins and mods are at the time 🤷

I mean, it’s a defamation case. If not for his own words defaming them, what WOULD they use to advance their case? Puppets?
