I remember when I joined here that tchncs did not federate with Lemmygrad. Is there a reason why it is now? I don’t think it’s a good instance, since it full of (roleplaying) communists hating on the western world… and I wouldn’t want that shit in my “All” feed. Thank you.

    They’re just confused edgy western kids cheering for Russia and pretending they like communism from their shiny new iPhones.

    And why should any serious instance ever want to connect to that? It’s not only individual communities (where blocking makes sense), it’s the whole instance.

      If you want to block on mass anyone you find annoying, go for it. But don’t assume that everyone else wants to create an an echochamber of like-minded people, especially not on an instance-wide level some admin making the decision on behalf of everyone.

      That’s not your decision to make for everyone else who comes here for access.

      If you want an instance that defederates on political grounds, start one yourself.
