Comment on Why was a defederation request post locked deleted and the poster banned?
can@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoWon’t the 0.19 changes just allow you to block instances from appearing in your feed? Won’t you still have to interact with the users?

Yeah, I don’t think this should be left to the users to block even if it is available in a future update. Defederation exists as an option specifically for instances like lemmygrad. Ever since I joined Lemmy, everything I’ve seen in the main feed from lemmygrad stands out as extremist. Most of the communities I have blocked come from lemmygrad.

The other side is that federation exists so you’re not tied to an instance if it no longer reflects your values. Why not move since Lemmy.world seems to want to stay federated? Other instances have lemmygrad blocked.
