Can we get a consensus on whether our community should de-federate with servers that host loli? I personally think we should block them, and if that ends up not being the consensus here then I’ll probably sign up on another server. I hope we can all agree to set that boundary though because I like it here and it seems otherwise pretty cool.
No, wrong approach because it blocks users simply interacting. What is needed is a solution for the All feed.
Perhaps I explained it poorly (or just have some fundamental misunderstanding - both are equally likely), but this is more the ability to personally block posts from all communities hosted on a given instance by defining the block at the instance level, not comments from users from instances I blocked posts on, nor posts that those users make on communities in whitelisted instances. Users should be blocked on an individual basis, for sure. If it gets to the point that too many people here have to do this for users from one specific instance, that’s when defederation should be on the table IMO.
This way, if it’s able to be done, I block @lemmynsfw.com and
-I don’t see anything from c/[any]@lemmynsfw.com.
-I do see a reply from user [x]@lemmynsfw.com on comments/posts I made in communities on other instances.
-I do see a post from user [x]@lemmynsfw.com on c/[any]@sh.itjust.works
If this can be done, I’m perfectly happy the leave All the way it is otherwise. But there could be other ways to address this, and I’m super open to hearing better approaches.
I agree, right now Lemmy and kbin and others are still growing, so instances right now with a dozen communities may have a hundred in a few months/years and if you don’t want to see nsfw content you would potentially have to individually block hundreds of communities from @lemmtnsfw.com to keep it from your all feed.
It may be somewhat feasible now but the problem will only get worse going forward when you should be able to choose to “defederate” yourself from communities you know hold no value to you personally instead of relying on your whole instance to defederate itself from those communities when other users may not want to.
