You did the right thing by contacting us via info@lemmy.world. We, the admins and the community team, work hard to ensure bad faith mods get removed. Our processes to handle such cases will probably improve over time.
So all lemmy servers can communicate with eachother, unless a server decided to "defederate" with another which cuts the connection.
Futhermore, mastodon and other fediverse projects can also communicate with lemmy and back, but since the format of the posts and comments is a bit different this might take some work for the devs to get working completely correctly.
Oh well, just wait till inevitably reddit does something stupid again and those numbers will go sky high again.
Also, if twitter where to fail eventually and a lot of people join mastadon, I think the amount of people using lemmy would also go up because people get familair with the fediverse.
I mean it isn't crazy to not want to provide data to companies who 1. are incentivised to abuse it and 2. are probably to lazy to take measures to protect it.
Last time I heard that, it was that it was the object of a hackathon they ran amongst employees. So not sure if they are actually still working on that.
