Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it's pretty much exclusively a user from there.

I made a comment about this today on a thread made by a user from that instance and now I have rather graphic scat porn gifs in my inbox from their users. If you somehow don't know what that means - I am now being sent explicit gifs of people defecating out of their anal orifice because I think their instance is filled with bad faith trolls. They're really doing a lot to dissuade me of that notion.

So fuck you, here's my petition to defederate.

I wonder if this is the community for this kind of petition, especially since the petition is instance specific and not about this community in particular.

I don't understand people wanting to defederate entire instances either. If you don't want to see stuff from there just block it. The whole idea of federation seems pretty pointless if all the instances are just gonna end up as walled gardens. Plus there's hundreds (thousands) of users there. You can't just paint them all with the same brush.

If this is why people want their instances to do it that's mainly because lemmy hasn't give appropriate tools at the user level to block entire instances unlike Kbin or Mastodon. (For now you can kind of block seeing them with apps like connect for lemmy, but someone from that instance would still be able to see and repply to your comments, or send you DMs)

As to why a user would want to block an instance and not just particular communities, there are many use cases, for example I didn't want to bñur NSFW images but I didn't want to see my frontpage filled with porn, so instead of blocking 10000 communities I just blocked 2 nsfw instances. There is also the culture fostered inside some communities that can lead them to become filled with alt right people or openly facistic rcho chamber which often harrass people, especially minorities.

I agree completely this request is dumb, but this doesn't look like the community to have this discussion.
