I believe lemmy.world and other instances should start defederating lemmy.ml and other “tankie” instances.

Many users have blocked these instances for extreme political content already.

Please suggest any changes.

EDIT: ok ok ok, I understand this is a stupid idea, how about a default ban list banning lemmy.ml

    Which means propaganda or what’s worse can still be pushed to people’s feeds.

    As if there isn’t propaganda everywhere else?

    It’s just a part of life lol. You just don’t like propaganda that you don’t support, which is fair

      I just mean if an instance turns bad or malicious in some way (through excessive propaganda or any other reason), that’s a legitimate reason to defederate and blocking cannot stop all malicious acts. Defederation is the only method to actually supress it entirely.

        defederation doesn’t entirely suppress anything, it just encourages people to switch to instances that are still federated

          That’s not a bad thing I think. If you switch because you still wanted to connect to that instance, that’s good, because you moved to an instance that more closely aligns with your values (i.e. more closely aligns to what you want to federate/defederate to/from).
