Option 2 is cool in regards to letting users decide... Option 3 is my second choice that said.
That said I ultimately agree with option 1. An instance dedicated to just regurgitating content from another user-generated site is just not a good thing. There is 0 value to those posts on Lemmy, instance wide imo.
There is 0 way to interact with the posts in a meaningful way and they just fill up 'new' with crap from somewhere else.
I don't like the nuclear option of defederation, but I really just see that instance as a hindrence to the existence and natural growth on Lemmy.
I already actively scroll past the obvious reddit reports, and that's all that instance brings to the table. I'm usually hesitant about defederating but in this case it seems to be the best choice if we don't want this content around, and they even encourage it if that's how we feel.
