I wasn't aware of this element of Lemmy...thanks for bringing it up. Philosophically speaking, I detest the idea of software limiting a user's speech in such a way...maybe such a filter would be needed, or maybe not, but I would prefer to see the need demonstrated over time through practice instead of bluntly imposed by software by default.

Reminds me of how Mastodon doesn't allow quote-toots...but quote-tweets can be highly effective when used correctly. Should be up to instance owners to regulate such behavior.
