I haven’t heard of this instance until now, and I hope to never see users or posts from it on instances I frequent.
I saw it a handful of days ago and put the entire instance on my client’s filter list because the person I saw was not smart and I didn’t have a good feeling.
Meant instance, said instant

Don’t worry, all the usual suspects have accounts on this server
Wait, did we defed an instance?
No… I dont know where that page gets its information but anyone can check https://lemmy.today/instances and maga.place is right there, along with every other instance in the fediverse.
We still federate with every other instance, including this one. Not sure how that site collects its information but we are federated with every other instance: https://lemmy.today/instances
Since we are a small instance, we dont get much/any trouble by being federated with everyone. It may be different for large ones.
Users can block instances if they want, its simple to do in settings for everyone. Its not up to me to decide what users should read.
Those remaining green servers are probably good candidates for defederation too.
I assume they’re newer instances coming online and federating with all they can. I’ll check back in another week.
I know the admin of at least one of them and they’re definitely not on board with that shit.
Yeah my mistake I didn’t realize the green ones were the new servers that spin up in the last week and the black ones are the ones that haven’t defederated yet.
The green ones are not all new servers, they’re just newly federated. Meaning they just didn’t know about it before now. Can’t defederate what you’re not aware of.
Why were they federated anywhere in the first place and what changed?
Most of the fediverse runs on a blacklist, not a whitelist. This means that new instances are federated by default as a general rule, though content only travels through instances when it’s requested by users in some way or another.
Blocking an instance is not much more work than banning a user, so in most cases it’s not a huge problem to have to actively defederate from bad actors.
yeah but then you get shit like, invisible maga replies to all of your comments….
you don’t see them because you “blocked” the instance, but to everyone else there’s three paragraphs of maga shit around everything you write….
soft blocking like this is weak and it is a problem until they’re defederated.When I said blocking here I meant in the meaning defederating.
On mastodon you’d mute users if you want them to still see your posts, and block them to cut them off. Not aure how that works on Lemmy, but I was referring to defederation. :)
gotcha… i misunderstood….
if you personally block someone on lemmy you just mute them. they can still see and comment on anything you post, but you won’t see it.
to me that’s almost worse.
i want my blocks to mean they can’t see me at all.Yeah, real moderation needs to happen on the instance level for sure. :)
What do these colors mean?
Red was removed, i.e. was federated last week but not this week. Green was added in the last week. The remaining few were federated and still are.
This is a diff of their instances page a from last week Friday to today.
We gave them the Gab treatment! Good work team.
