First blocking Hexbear, now blocking dbzer0. Obviously the Lemmy.world admins are taking the “lemmy.world being so big is bad for the Fediverse and people should move to smaller instances” critiques to heart and trying to incentive users to move
They’ve only blocked some communities from dbzer0, not defederated from the entire instance
Just shows how sensationalized this post tries to be, Probably to fit someone’s agenda
