De-federate from instances with loli (self.main)

Can we get a consensus on whether our community should de-federate with servers that host loli? I personally think we should block them, and if that ends up not being the consensus here then I'll probably sign up on another server. I hope we can all agree to set that boundary though because I like it here and it seems otherwise pretty cool.

To everyone saying just block the communities:

I don't want to have to block communities. In order to know I need to block a community, I have to see content which I feel is worth blocking. That's fine for most cases but in this case that is not fine (to me personally).
I don't necessarily want to associate or interact with people who are fine having a server with loli as their home server. Not to be mean about it but that's just how I feel flat out.

I think this is an instance where de-federation is the correct course of action.

I'd like a feature for user specific defederation of communities as you've mentioned. Not sure it is possible though.

Sir thats the block button

Yeah, I meant entire instances.

Gotcha, I think that's a feature request currently being worked on

I don’t want to have to block communities. In order to know I need to block a community,

so you're puttin the onus on the admins? its the same process with different steps, just block the communities you dont want to see as they pop up. No need to search them out.

EDIT: spelling

If you defederate it does that also block me from seeing posts here since my instance has not defederated it?

Its a pretty strong stance to say I don't want to interact with anyone who hasn't defederated X.

[–] InfiniteVariables 7 points 2 years ago

No it would just block interactions between the the 2 communities as far as I understand it

I'm just checking out Lemmy for the first time so I'm not up to speed entirely on how everything works, but isn't the point of the system that you chose where to create or move your account so you can choose a community that already blocks stuff? I personally chose one that had nothing blocked and was blocked by nothing to start and intend to move to somewhere else if I see the need.

Kind of. In an ideal world where all the instances have already been created so we know what communities have what content. The problem is that as more people migrate and create their own instances or communities there will inevitably be new ones that are automatically federated with shit that just goes over a line of decency. As things change over time, so will the instances and which other instances they're federated with.
