Any reason we haven't federated with Lemmygrad? (aussie.zone)

Noticed they are quite a large server with similar rules to ours (Be respectful, no bigotry, no porn, etc). Looking at their front page, it seems pretty tame, just anti-capitalist memes and discussion. Is there a reason we have blocked them?

Started as an insult for communists that believed communist governments could do no wrong. The term comes from people supporting the USSR rolling tanks into Hungary and Prague to crush rebellions. Today, the term also encompasses people who are vehemently anti-west to the point where they'd defend Russian or Chinese imperialism because they're "sticking it to the west".
