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?
I think a perfectly acceptable line to draw is “Is it reasonable to expect a large majority of the people on this instance would want this other instance blocked?” If the answer is yes, block them. If somebody has a problem with that, move to a different instance.
I don’t really understand what the problem is.
This does not apply when you can move or make your own instance. It’s like complaining about tyranny inside your own house. Like, what?
My issue with other instances is largely their users and the new instance block feature merely blocks communities, not users. I’m very fine with continuing to avoid users of loli/pedo/alt right condoning instances.
Really? Crap,I guess they would need to add a separate option to choose if you want to ban just the communities or the users too…
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.
What do yall think about that?
Instances can (and should) block whatever other instances they want, based on whatever reason they can come up with. If your instance blocks an instance you want to use, either switch to another instance or host your own.
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.
