Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don't worry, you won't need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.
The way your post was making it out to seem, "forces an instance to federate out" sounded like he was doing something so egregious that he was forcing instances to be defederated, sheesh. On the bright side, you've Barbara Streissanded his good work.
Nah, with every account you create and use to interact with another instance, the instance that you made that account on takes on the burden of all of the data associated with it including images etc. Making alts is a dick move. If you make your own instance and are happy with it, then navigate to and post to a large community on a large instance, your instance is going to get flooded with pictr and general db stuff. Don't make alts.
