I do agree that there is some truth to "The Medium is the Message", but I honestly don't see that much of a difference in medium between social media networks that are very similar in their design.
I have more than a handful of people already that signed up to !emacs@communick.news after I saw a question they posted on /r/emacs and I sent them a DM asking them to post their question here as well. There is nothing stopping this tool (it's actually my next item to work on) to streamline this process.
Judging by others' comments and upvotes on my comments, I don't think I'm alone here in my reasoning, but if there are others that don't care about the cross-contamination, then I guess we will agree to disagree. I just know that I personally am blocking communities that cross-contaminate, and I am personally looking for strictly Lemmy user to Lemmy user discussions.
