What a great warning! This sort of thing is why I think that we should try to have a more distributed userbase instead of everyone piling into one instance. I have nothing against @lemmy.world, but it being as big as it is can become a huge problem if its interests are ever compromised because defederation becomes infeasible when such a large portion of the userbase is in the instance everyone else wants to defederate.
I wonder if it is possible to add a feature to migrate your user account from one instance to another instance.
Put in some sanity checks, like minimum time on instance etc, optional application requirements.
