Based on concerns from both the admin team and most users here, the lemmy.ml admin team decided to add wolfballs.com to our blocklist. There is just too much reactionary content that breaks almost all the rules we have here.
It’s natural for open instances like this one to develop blocklists organically, and so far we’ve only felt it necessary to block 2 instances. If there’s any concerns about other instances that we should keep an eye on, let us know.
I recommended this on Matrix. It really was necessary. The site admins are in favor of vaccine misinformation and extreme fearmongering to the point of hostility towards science in general.
Thank you! I feel like the fediverse is made better and benefits from people who take notice and put information in front of the right people. It’s just one little thing, but all kinds of downstream outcomes are averted, and we don’t have to say “gee I wish we blocked them a long time ago” because we went through a period of them poisoning the well.
