Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

On world I've seen them in the news communities, but I pretty much blocked them all by now because of the unwillingness to moderate by all of them, specifically regarding disinformation. Though, the instance is too big for me to ban every community, like I do with lemmy.ml. At that point there would be not much activity left and it is already incredibly lowly populated.
I can appreciate Beehaw blocking the more extreme left instances though, even though they are pretty left leaning too.
I don't think Beehaw blocked .world out of any political motivation at all. They simply have a very strict vision of the atmosphere and style of interactions they want their users to have, and the combination of unrestricted sign-ups, lax moderation and lacking moderation tools in general made this vision impossible - hence defederation.
By that logic you'd have to defederate from basically anything because the moderation tools and sign-ups are about the same everywhere.
And that is indeed what Beehaw is doing, as far as I'm aware. Though curiously lemm.ee isn't on their block list (yet)^[1]
Though I think the latest word is that Beehaw is leaving Lemmy altogether in the future.
No, they block kinda specific based on certain factors, as outlined by the other person.
And yes, the lack of moderation controls is one of the big reasons why they want to leave.
Yeah I’ve blocked .ml too.
I don’t think world is that bad, I used it for a long time until I switched here to Blahaj, but yeah a lot of the dodgy accounts tend to come from world and lemm.ee. Once you’ve got the tankie trifecta (hexbear, grad and ml) blocked.
Unfortunately on mbin I can only block the specific communities or users, not the entire instance.
