we are defederated from lemmit.online as the bots there was just far too much already but I’m curious about whether we should do the same for alien.top and or its sister instances (there’s a lot).

If you aren’t aware of what that is, it’s a site ran by another instance that mirrors reddit content over into ghost subs and mirrors the comments as well.

Personally? I’m not a fan. Like, at all. I understand the desire but I feel like its not only asking for Reddit to throw down with a legal fit but also feels just… annoying. We don’t need a critical mass of content, we need QUALITY content. More does not equal better.

    Yeah, first thing I did was to block a few reddit mirroring bots. That cleared my All feed from a bunch of dead threads.

      What did you block if you dont mind me asking? We should be defederated from them all, but if there’s more I don’t know I can add them.

        Uh good question! It might have been on another account… how do you find your blocklist?
