    So if I have a successful community, someone on another instance should get to ride on my work and flourish by setting up a community with the same name? This makes no sense.

      Isn’t that one of the side effects of having a federated universe? I don’t feel it’s so much riding your work as it is combining conversations within a single deduped community.

      Also, if nothing is done about it, wouldn’t we keep having issues like this: https://lemmy.ca/post/2821804

        Federated means accessible in a single state. It doesn’t mean zero ownership or control, hence why the dictionary definition mentions internal autonomy.

        Those are spammers. Block them, that’s the only way they’ll learn.
