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’ve gone without those for almost a year now. I’m doing aight.
That’s definitely an option. Other people might prefer to keep access to them.
Blocking at the personal level allows people to choose
It also allows comments and votes from the blocked instance to still get through though. You don’t necessarily want that.
Indeed, but there are also people on Lemmy.ml who I appreciate.
@TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml for instance, and there are a few others. I mean, the Lemmy devs are on that instance, don’t we want to be able to talk to them, even if we can disagree with them?
Oh yes yes - sorry, I am not advocating for or against defederating lemmy.ml. I was just saying if you find another instance bad or annoying, you might not still want to see their comments and votes, and in this case a defederation would be better than a user-level block.
