A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

yeah, I think beehaw is in the right to decide this part of feature and it's up to the server admins. User can choose how they want to respond to that as well and I've seen different reaction as well.
If anyone wants to see just how hard it is to maintain lemmy in current state, just hop over to "All" and set the sorting to "New". For the record, during the past couple days, I already blocked 14 bot accounts and 9 community that used bots. I had to because other wise I can't discovery communities I might have interested in when browsing "All". And that's also after some work that was put in by the lemmy.ca admin.
And, if you don't want all the drama, you can always spin up your instance or join a less populated server.
That's what I did. I get to federate or defederate with whatever instances I want, and as long as I'm not a dickhead, no one will defederate me.
How do you block instances yourself? I had anime bestiality porn popping up on "All" earlier, and would like to not have that as part of my normal browsing experience.
You can't block instance as a user, but you can either block the spam box account, or visit the instance and list all their current communities and then add all of them to your block list.
This is one of the user end feature that really should exist.(it's on the github issue list already.)
