What is Defederation?
Defederation means we have disconnected our instance from another, and users from our instance will no longer be able to see anything (communities, posts or comments) coming from it, and their users won’t be able to see anything coming from ours.
What will get an Instance Defederated?
Our goal is to avoid defederation, but we will do so under the following circumstances:
-
The instance spreads overwhelming amounts of drama, hate or negativity.
-
The instance is mostly made up bots, and or promotes spam.
-
The instance allows the harassment or doxxing of others.
-
The instance knowingly hosts CSAM or other illegal content.
Has FMHY Defederated Instances?
Only two, both for breaking the 1st rule above:
-
exploding-heads
-
lemmygrad
Things to Note:
-
There are circumstances where we may block a specific community within an instance, rather than blocking the entire instance itself, but this is very uncommon.
-
Remember that if there’s a community you don’t like, you can block it entirely in settings.
-
Keep in mind that our goal is to keep this community safe, so if you see something that breaks our rules please don’t hesitate to report it.
-
If its something urgent, you can always contact us easily via Divolt 💬. Its connected to our discord, so there are mods online 24/7.
Umm… What did you think the point of mods on reddit was? The mods we chose to support and followed here to lemmy and kept the community on track?
And you know you can just lurk on here and can use another instance that better fits your idea of the type of conversations you want. There’s nothing keeping you from making an account on exploding heads and chatting away with them. You can multiple accounts you know.
I left Reddit because the admins killed third party apps. Not because I was a fan of mods blocking whole communities, which wasn’t actually a power that Reddit mods had.
