We ought to fork Lemmy and include features it's badly missing, like the ability for users to block whole instances, and to better enable admins to block brigadeers and spammers who make alts.

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Unpopular opinion but I think we should have both the block and Mute options that other Federated Activitypub platforms have, mastodon has both blocking and mutes, lemmy only has the mutes but calls them blocking since it doesn't cut off access to the other party, reason is there are absolutely people who should be cut off from interaction, not just hidden from view.
Truth. Facts.
