There are a lot of tanky posts coming from lemmy.ml. Their whole purpose seems to be to troll and spread their bullshit far and wide. They are nearly as bad as the alt-right. They argue in bad faith and celebrate authoritarian oppression. The beehaw mods might want to consider defederating.

      Beehaw seems to lack the option (can block users and communities, but not instances, is it a recent Lemmy setting that isn’t on the version on Beehaw?), then again Beehaw is very strict on who it federates with so i expect the worsening of that instance will inevitably lead to their defederation

        Yeah beehaw is also a separate software implementation that is mostly compatible with lemmy but still distinct. I’d recommend switching to a lemmy instance with permissive federation and curating your blocklist yourself with the instance block feature. That’s why i picked lemm.ee, it has one of the more chill admin teams. In general as an anarchist i dislike the whole “rival fiefdoms” model of federation that lemmy has, would to make my own decisions. But it’s still better than reddit lol

          You’re mistaken; Beehaw does use Lemmy software for now. I think maybe you’re thinking of kbin/mbin instances, or maybe you heard about Beehaw planning to move off of Lemmy software and misunderstood.
