Removed by mod? This really is a revolutionary new feature.
Naming other instances (especially those two instances) is illegal now I guess π€£
But I am pretty sure everyone knows what "those two" instances are, anyways.
Blatant displays of anticommunism are not allowed on lemmy ml
It's the bare minimum they do to ensure it doesn't just become another nazi bar instance.
If those two instances are seen as problematic by the mods of an official community I wonder why lemmy.ml is not defederated from them. lemmy.ml is defederated from so many weird/extremist instances, why not from those two?
But this is the announcement community, we should not discuss this here since it's off topic.
ml is basically the omni-instance, the only places it's defederated from are those which outright should not exist on the federation. I'm talking unmoderated, hate speech galore, and CSAM posted on the daily. The only thing ml defederates from outside that are porn instances. I joined a NSFW instance and tbh not missing out on much, it's mostly commercial spam and a lot of... questionable stuff.
Can we see a list of instances that are blocked?
For lemmy.ml you can see all federated and defederated instances here: https://lemmy.ml/instances
You can see the account-based blocks in your profile settings: https://lemmy.ml/settings
In theory you could also set account-based instance blocks there but currently tyhis is broken on the front-end: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2245
I just made that issue, what a coincidence lol
Itβs you! Thanks! :)
The fix is live
Glorious!
It's been fixed. Now we just need to wait for the next version to be deployed :)
Huh, kind of wish there was a column with a few words on why each one was blocked. Kind of curious about them, but don't want to get myself put on a list by visiting the wrong server, you know?
Thats so cool. I think this update will be the death of reddit
If I remember correctly it doesn't block comments from instance users, only posts which could already be archived by using apps.
A shame but better than nothing I guess.
Which is enough for me.
And that's the thing here: You don't need any apps anymore because it is implemented serverside. I am also not a fan of apps in general (they don't fit my "workflow").
