I do think it would be best for most of us. Not least because it's more important to build our space here on Lemmy than to waste time on a site that we want/expect/hope to fail. The analogy with a nasty breakup isn't too farfetched - try to avoid running into your ex, at least for a while, it can only lead to more pain and won't help you move on. Especially when there's a real possibility that your ex actually benefits financially from the two of you meeting.
