Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] admin team took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it’s users will not be allowed to proceed. We strongly encourage other instance administrators to do the same, given the grave threat they pose to the fediverse.

    If they add user-level defed, I’d be pretty on board with defederation being used for stuff like bot farms.

    As it stands, with the current lack of user-level defed-- defederating is a server/user-whitelist, server-blacklist function.

    Ideally I think it should be a server/user-whitelist, user-blacklist function, where a server-blacklist is reserved for botfarms/illegal content.

      more ideally would be as many levels of granular control as possable for users and their clients.

      However Servers ghould get

      • whitelist/blacklist of users
      • blacklist/whitelist of communities (prevents blocking servers for just their groups)
      • blacklist/whitelist of servers
      • server federation

      The point is to blacklist as specific as needed, EX: dont block lemmy dot Marxist Lennonists just its extremist communities (ml admins have a communism chinaphile problem)
