I wanna see instances federated with most instances now that in individuals can ban entire instances. I know theres still some instances you want completely blocked from the off tho.
Do instances want to remain legally protected by blocking all those instances?
What do yall think about that?
AFAIK you can block the POSTS of another instance from your feed. And only posts from communities hosted on those instances. But their users' comments and posts will still appear for you everywhere else.
Replies don't go to your inbox either I've found. I've had the misfortune of being replied to by one of the Hexbear trolls and only noticed because someone else replied to that same comment aswell and I saw the troll's reply in the context.
In the decentralized network of the fediverse where freedom of association is king, you're free to start your own instance that will federate with everybody. Of course, the other admins are as free as you are and may decide to not federate with you. Such is that degree of freedom.
yeah, though lemmy.ml afaik (haven't manually checked recently) only blocks porn, spam or really messed up instances, which is fine with me.
Major mention, ani.social - here's a link to the relevant discussion and the outcome, from ani.social's PoV.
