I believe lemmy.world and other instances should start defederating lemmy.ml and other “tankie” instances.

Many users have blocked these instances for extreme political content already.

Please suggest any changes.

EDIT: ok ok ok, I understand this is a stupid idea, how about a default ban list banning lemmy.ml

    I’ll share this with the lemmy.world admins, but I believe hexbear at a minimum is already defederated. .ml is not. Not sure on lemmygrad.

      Hex bear and Leningrad are both defederated. Just lemmy.ml isn’t which I have blocked. Mostly because it’s annoying ending up on one of their communities and then having them get all upset when you point out basic facts.

      Please share with the lemmy.world admins that i don’t want to be defederated with lemmy.ml then too. OP should really ask their own instance admin though, what the hell.

        General consensus seems to be that, yes, .ml is problematic, but also it’s not going anywhere due to being the OG lemmy. Too many vital communities are there.

          “This instance is spewing harmful propaganda, but it’s ok because a bunch of people talk about Steam there.”
