As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I've got from that instance were low-quality transphobic "news articles".

I don't love this idea, would really prefer instead the ability to block the instance in the same way I do communities/magazines and see a petition for them to be auto-blocked which I could then remove if I wanted.

Really don't like the idea of defederation unless there's like active crime going on there.

Same, for me canceling culture and defederating left and right is not the right way to go.

I'm all for having arguments with reasonable people I disagree with, but let's be real here. That's not what happens with far right trolls. Their goal is to be incoherent and exhausting to deal with. They don't care about exchanging ideas. They want to make you waste your time and feel hopeless. Don't give them the chance. Just defederate.

It's not all that, but it does allow a lot of freedom to speak on whatever so posts like that might appear

for example I posted on tau day today in the [email protected] community: tauday.com

I am against defederations being decided by instance admins. Lemmy needs (kbin being more mature project at least has domain blocking) tools to let users decide themselves what they want or don't want to see. Are you an adult or you need others to decide for you? I have blocked lemmygrad and other tankie/nazi (same shit) instances (domains) myself. If I don't want to see eg. transgender stuff then I don't cry about it but just block it. Grow a pair and do the same.

How can I block an instance?
