Did we start federating with lemmygrad.ml?
Did we start federating with lemmygrad.ml?
I remember it was on the list of blocked instances, but now it's not,, and my page was just flooded with content from there - was that intentional?
I initially added it on the blocked instances, but then reverted it after a day because it looked like there is 1 user who subscribed to a lemmygrad.ml community, & nothing had come from it yet (bad or good) so I thought taking a unilateral decision something that shouldn't be done and having a civil discussion around the cost benefit of having them allowed/blocked.
This 1 subscriber triggered the federation.
And this (possibly same user) is the reason why you saw all the "backlog" of posts in All.While I am not against adding it back to blocked instances if it ends up causing an issue, blocking it without a discussion would be against the openness I want to foster in this community. The only reason I would block an instance would be due to an attack against Reddthat, or the majority of users from that instance cause a problem with us.
Thus here we are, having a discussion about it. (Pinned to Local for everyone to see and discuss)
Got it, that's reasonable I guess - as long as it's not causing trouble, might as well give it a chance - thanks for the confirmation!
Until they prove themselves worthy of defederation, I have no problem federating with them
When I saw them on the block list it gave me a chuckle. kind of a meme at this point.
Thank you for discussing with us :D
Personally, I am going to ignore unless it gets spammy, filter for my self if it does.
I'd much rather see us defederate from exploding.heads. although I have to admit that I haven't seen any objectionable posts from either instance in the wild yet.
Mmmmm, I just saw some posts relating to this, but never any posts from them. If it becomes a problem then we'll sort it out 👍
Their rules look good and normal. As long as they end up moderating themselves, and don't brigade our users. I see no reason to bring out the nuclear option, when kind words work just as well.
So...
Something like this:
Is going to be de-federated soon... Right?
Because at least on Reddit I could just block the problematic subs big enough to show up on /all.
But apparently we can't block whole instances and they keep making new subs (or whatever they're called) so it's just whack a mole.
Did you choose to federate with that shitshow? Or does every instance automatically federate and pruning bigots isn't something this I stance can deal with?
Just a random bit if info, but it seems they decided to block us for some reason:

Wine what that's about... Oh well, their loss I guess :)
