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, 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.

I don’t agree/disagree as I don’t fully understand the nuances, but I’d assume it’s more of a protection as this server is more tailored towards a vulnerable minority, and eliminating a group of people who would pose a danger to this minority isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially if you can just access it through another account or so. Now I haven’t interacted with or seen content from said tankies so I don’t know how bad the situation is etc, but theoretically speaking.
