I think defederating instances that post illegal content makes sense, as the admins are responsible for the content on their server.
I think defederating instances that host belligerent users and content makes sense, because it protects those that are targeted by them.
I don't think defederating instances that post content some people don't want to see makes sense, a la Lemmit. If the admins want to go that far, you might as well close off the entire fediverse and only host content at your personal approval. Dunno why you'd need a Lemmy instance for that.
If you block the lemmit bot, it's like blocking the whole instance as it's the same "user" that does all the posting across all communities on that instance. They really have made it really easy for users to not see lemmit if they don't want to, and I appreciate that.
It's not just content though, essentially it's bots.
The problem with bots isn't just spam, a social network is defined by the interaction among the community...I think that's a fair call.
I might be up for having unscripted LLMs on the network, but repost bots are like a weird smell... It's not that big a deal individually, but it'll make the community noticably worse
Exploding-heads was defederated by lemmy.world due nazi content afaik, which itself is illegal in many countries, and targets minorities.
Am I missing something?
Edit: or you are talking only about lemmit.online?
My last point is talking about instances like Lemmit, hence why I mentioned it specifically.
