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!
