I’ve been pleased with LW and not having to add any instances to my client’s block list until now.
we have just implemented an instance quarantine that will ban new users from that instance by default. we will have to review whether there are legitimate users on that instance before we consider defederation.
Totally reasonable. I probably over reacted 😅
Would an instance not taking action(like maybe blocking open signups) to prevent abuse like that be reason to defederate (even if they do have legit users)?
Not even expressing an opinion or hinting at anything; just curious about how moderation decisions are made.

Never heard of it. You forgot to mention why they should.

They just spammed several communities with several users that look like automatically generated users.
I just blocked them on my own server and api.rabotaem.app as well.
