I believe lemmy.world and other instances should start defederating lemmy.ml and other “tankie” instances.

Many users have blocked these instances for extreme political content already.

Please suggest any changes.

EDIT: ok ok ok, I understand this is a stupid idea, how about a default ban list banning lemmy.ml

    i find tankies very funny they are a representation of the ouroborus they eat themselfs. de-federation is gay and should only be done with illegal shit other then that use the block button.

    If users can individually block these instances, what is the benefit of defense rating from them?

    You can block Lemmy instances in your settings. You have the tools to solve the problem, use them.

          Ah yes, simply block every user from .ml (one of the biggest instances after LW). Even if it was that easy, it doesn’t stop them from influencing the discussions happening in your instance’s communities and the culture of your instance.

    Why not just call out their tankie bullshit? It’s fun, entertaining, and rewarding.

    Is this defederation bullshit going to be the next post that every newbie makes? You can do it yourself – don’t tell me what to do.

      Because they just ban you and delete the post. There is no way to call them out if you’re unable to respond to their tankie bullshit.
