In trouble with who? Does someone get to tell us how we want to run things here?
If some other instance has an issue with seeing people in need that sounds like a them problem to me.
EDIT: After reflecting on this I was needlessly aggressive and jumped to conclusions before speaking. I'm leaving this up as a reminder to do better even though I want to just delete this embarrassing mistake it and pretend it didn't happen.
At least one instance was forced to defed from hexbear because of a bug triggered by very deeply threaded posts, presumably because people were trying to bump a post by replying 4+ times at once (something that, apparently, doesn't even work). It's not about the visibility of the posts, it's about the behaviour itself being hostile to other instances on a technical level... And pointless.
If having a problem with knowingly literally crashing every federated instance’s Lemmy server every time someone adds a comment is “trouble” then yes, there is trouble
