I'm also working on a radical approach to federation, @pixelfed admins will soon have a game changing approach to manage federation. Imagine being able to filter federated activities from outdated instances that have open registration enabled, with a single tap. Forget importing blocklists, we're making it more simple and easier to manage federation. Pixelfed makes moderation easy ✨ #pixelfed #federation

I think this is something Lemmy should also consider. Open registration is an invitation to abuse an instance as a spam vector.

    We have the ability to block instances but that won’t work on commenters from instances that are known to be problematic. There are some instances I just want to flat out DNI on due to them being consistently unpleasant and adding nothing to the conversation, right now my only option is to manually block their users and get myself banned from the problem instance so I stop showing up for them. Not ideal.

      I assume you’re talking about lemmy?

      Because on microblogging-fedi/masto you can block/mute complete instances, so you don’t see anything from there
