So I made a comment on worldnews criticizing Chinese activity in the south china sea and apparently got banned for it by the automod. This happen to anyone else? Is this Lemmy’s version of the need help post and the shape of things to come?
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
my instance doesn’t defederate from anyone
This is the way. I would prefer local blocking to complete defederation, because then the onus is on me.
It sounds good to let each user decide for themselves, but you must remember that these instances that you as a user block still get to have influence on voting. So even if you block all the instances you don’t want to have an influence, they’ll still have an influence on your feed.
Not defederating from anything is not the best path if you want to shut out an instance.
