I did get permission to share this private message. For the record, I loath having public Lemmy topics being discussed in private messages. I created this community to get all this OUT in the OPEN.

I already made my decision on NOT changing privacy policy. But now I see that the very idea of having more than one “Subscribed” list for an end-user is raising threats of defederation!

    Smarpthone clients are going to implement features to filter and have multiple subscribed lists.

    People are already creating multiple Lemmy accounts just to have different subscribed list. Smarpthone apps are making it easier to switch between logins. I personally used RedReader to switch between different subscribed/home page on Reddit for a very long time (decade).

    Smarpthone apps often don’t even show the sidebar of a community when people read postings…

    Seems to me an extremist stance. Why not just restrict posting to people who answer a consent form before being allowed to post into your community? Those kind of features would be more specific of a response to the concern that people don’t read the rules before posting/commenting.
