Hi guys,
Do you think we should have a mega thread (maybe even a locked one if that’s an option) explaining why each specific instance is blocked from this instance?
Just to give some clarity.
Yeah that would be best for transparency. Blocking an instance is a big deal and the decision should be held under a lot of scrutiny by the community imo so making the list easy to access is a good start
My thoughts exactly. If we have a small group of people deciding what you can access and what you can’t without any form of required transparency, then we are at risk of being part of a dishonest media.
Speaking of, I definitely wouldn’t mind defederating with lemmygrad (and maybe even lemmy.ml itself, since it resolves to the same IP) because it is suuuuper tankie.
Hell, I wouldn’t mind moving to kbin, but that’s probably a bit annoying for most since most of us just moved off of reddit.
Yeah, probably shouldn’t defederate from lemmy.ml even if they’re probably okay with tankies since it’s still the main instance. Lemmygrad though… Definitely. I’ve already blocked a few subs over there myself, and if I can figure out how to block the instance itself I’ll definitely do it.
But unless they are not doing anything illegal, why should even considering defedarating with them if you don’t agree with their political or other views, ,just don’t visit/follow/post. I just don’t see why would you block access to it - seems a bit authoritarian for somebody to decide that because you belong in this group, you are not allowed to view/access this group.
