See e.g. that recent discussion at https://lemm.ee/post/45248880, where the admins expressed a desire for OP to physically commit suicide, all based on an easily preventable misunderstanding about a situation that happened in a game.

You should probably bring us it to achieve

convincing lemm.ee, lemmy.zip, lemmy.dbzer0.com, discuss.tchcs.de to defederate lemmy.ml

Maybe as you recommend lemm.ee you can attach such a warning?

I do

You can block entire servers and specific communities.

Instances to block to avoid political content

The tricky aspect with lemmy.ml is that they host the most active open source communities. So recommending everyone to block them would probably make Lemmy as a whole appear hostile, as you need to choose between accessing open source communities and blocking a hostile instance.

To be fair, at this point in time, you might probably want to create a dedicated community to discuss this issue with the rest of the people (maybe [email protected]) and agree on a potential action plan.

I feel like we've had this conversation two or three times in the last few weeks, it's not really solving the core issue.
