Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

This is great but beehaw defederated from Lemmy, Kbin, etc so we can see but can’t interact with them.
Beehaw defederated from a couple specific Lemmy servers, not Lemmy overall.
Beehaw's instance page lists instances they have blocked.
Tbh I think we can expect all instances to eventually defederate when someone offends someone else and they get cancelled
Yeah I can see this being an issue with the fediverse in general. There really is no ability to completely block someone or remove them from the fediverse. Some see this as a benefit, some see this as an issue.
Lemmy allows other instances by default, so nothing stops a bad actor from just spamming instances on subdomains to harass or spam. I just hope we don't end up with a system where instances are defederated by default because then that will seriously fragment the community.
