Even if it’s just a recommendation on a different group in which to ask the question, I’m curious how Lemmy combats criminal activity and content like human trafficking, smuggling, terrorism, etc?

Is it just a matter of each node bans users when they identify a crime, and/or problematic nodes are defederated if they tolerate it?

And if defederated, does that mean each node has to individually choose to defederate from the one allowing criminal activity?

    Speak for yourself.

    The only thing I ever wanted block instance for was so my ‘all’ feed isn’t 90% porn from lemmynsfw.

    Beyond that I’ve only ever blocked an instance to avoid its content. I don’t care about the users.

    This current implementation is exactly what I wanted. TBH I think blocking the users as well should be seprate, for the reasons I described earlier.

      Seems like we’d need both a way to block an instance posts only, and a way to block all posts, comments and users from an instance. Is it too much to ask? Did somebody open a feature request in github already (and has it been accepted or ignored)?

      as you go on to speak for yourself… i’m just describing what a lot of people had been asking for (not just myself) as opposed to what’s been implemented. no need to get hostile.

        Yes, exactly. I’ve expressed only my own opinion and been clear in that point, instead of presuming or implying that what I want is also what others want.

        What I wanted has been implemented, and I don’t think it should be modified to include what you want. Instead I think blocking all users on an instance should be a separate feature/option as I wouldn’t use it myself, preferring to block the posts/content only.
