Lemmy is just getting started and way too many people are talking about defederation for any reason possible. What is even the point of a federated platform if everyone's trying to defederate? If you don't like federation so much, go use Facebook or something.
This. Defed is not the magic weapon that will solve all your problems. Captcha and email filters should be on by default though.
Just to add to that, imagine people would start defeding email. Like WTF is that even? Defed should not even be an option.
Certainly it should. If you connect with a server that breaks all your core rules you shouldn't force mods to deal with that constant stream of garbage. Just cut off the source.
Use Facebook then. Or Reddit.
Lol, no. Defederatioon is a tool. Sometimes it is the right call to use it. Go use Gab or something if you want a voat like hellhole filled with neo-nazis and Q-tard conspiracy nonsense. I don't want to be part of a community that allows that shit though.
Again, go use Facebook or Reddit. They will suit your needs and wishes.
Again, go use Gab or Daily Stormer. They protect the "freeze peach" (aka right wing hate speech) you are so concerned about.
I'm not concerned about free speech. But please, leave Lemmy alone without your snowflake crap.
Lol, snowflake. You just confirmed it, dude. Go read the rules. If you don't like them, you can leave.
What rules? The only one here disliking rules of federation is YOU. Go back to Reddit, they will welcome you with open hands.
It's right on the front page, dude.
A Lemmy site for various topics, for everyone to use. Be polite and follow the rules (https://mastodon.world/about).
If you follow that link you'll see all sorts of rules. Defederation is built into the system for a reason. If you want a hate space go to Gab.
If you want defederation - go to Reddit.
So, you're not going to acknowledge that there are clear cut rules of conduct? Odd. Why would you ignore that bit? Oh, I know, because it destroys everything you wrote. If a server federates with lemmy world and spams neo-nazi memes should they be allowed to stay part of our federation? Yes or no.
Also thanks for petulantly downvoting all my replies, it gave me a hearty chuckle. Weak.
Stop putting words into my mouth. Go back to Reddit, please. You will have as many chuckles there as you want. Together with likeminded echo-chamber.
Nope. Defederation is a thing. Learn to live with it.
You didn't ask the question, you're trying to move the goalposts. If you have no arguments left - stop arguing. Or go back to Reddit, as I have asked way too many times right now. This is a place for everyone, not just you.
Nope, I'm here to stay. And so is defederation. :)
Well, good luck to you then. As a sidenote - maybe try to learn where the rules are. Because you clearly have no clue.
It happens to email ALL THE TIME, we just call it something different when it happens to email. Evaluating email for SPAM potential is an every-day common place occurrence, and for at least the past 10 years, a factor called 'domain reputation' is part of the equation. Entire domains get spam blacklisted because they refuse to enforce rules for their users.
Blacklisting an entire domain can and does happen daily. It just doesn't have the same triggering ring as the word "defederation" has.
It happens because spam is illegal in many countries.
Antik 👾We have guidelines up on https://mastodon.world/about - if posts from other instances do not follow these rules the posts will be deleted and if needed the user will be warned/banned. If there is an entire instance that might be a problem, they might ultimately become defederated. Yes this is the last option, but sometimes it's also the only option. Mod and admin tools are quite limited currently and there's just some content we don't want to be linked with.

EH was not defederated because it broke LW rules, it was defeded because it breaks laws. Defeding a porn instance because LW doesn't allow porn won't happen. Defeding a child porn instance will happen for sure.
You shouldn't defed some instance because their rules are different, because all rules are different. That will destroy fediverse before it starts. Everyone who disagrees simply doesn't understand the point of Fediverse.
Did you read that post? I don't think you did because that explains the entire reasoning why it was defederated. Had nothing to do with them breaking the law.
Ok, I guess you're from Belgium. Tell me one thing - is racism legal in Belgium? Because EH is clearly supporting and endorsing racism. That alone makes it illegal. At least here in the UK. There's no need to invent some explanation for this specific case.
So because the rules we put on lemmy.world also match with laws - it's because of the laws we decided to not federate with them? Not because we don't want to deal with that kind of people in general? Because we personally don't like bigots, racists and homophobes? And it wasn't because we didn't want to give them a platform here? Cool, I didn't know.
