[Vote] Clear the federation blacklist - sh.itjust.works

There’s been plenty of discussion on defederation. I propose we defederate no instance other than those with egregiously illegal content such as CP. Note that I know of no such instances. Reinstate lemmygrad.

Nay.

Is this two different proposals in one, though?

No. Right now the only defederated instance is lemmygrad. I'll edit to make it clearer.

To ensure transparency, you should also mention that lemmygrad is a genocide-denying tankie instance. Users should be able to make an informed decision.

It's the perfect test of the will of the community not to end up as an echochamber.

For the record, I will personally block lemmygrad users spouting tankie rhetoric should I encounter them.

And since you're the one submitting them to said "test", you owe them all the necessary information.

Mentioned.

Nay for now. While there's a few communities on lemmygrad that I want to see like Late Stage Capitalism, lemmygrad has been defederated since day one, and all of us (should) have known this when we joined, so there's no hurry to refederate with them.

The real solution is for Lemmy to let users block instances from their own view, then all the defederation discussions will be moot. When that happens, we should do as you proposed - federate as much as permitted by law.

Solid take.
