Blocking instances for having open registration is some of the weirder shit I have heard recently.
Edit: now that we have a bot problem I'm now against open registration and federating with instances with open registration lol
You won't like this then https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/59078 (I don't either)
2 questions.
Fmhy.ml is an entirely separate instance from Lemmy.ml right? Lil confused cuz those are the only ones I've seen ending in ml
What instance do we have blocked?
Eta: lemmygrad is the one blocked instance here, personally not gonna miss em.
yes entirely separate. unless the entire "lemmy.fmhy.ml" is identical its a difference instance
Yeah, I read it before seeing this post
Will fmhy also defederate beehaw?
No, we'll only block extreme instances.
Instances have different purposes and for beehaw, maintaining community standards is more important to them then wider federation, they also explicitly said it was a bandwidth issue for their mod team, that as things settle and tools get better for modding within Lemmy itself theyโll reassess. I donโt find that particulary unusual but Iโm also a Mastadon user and thatโs very common over there
Exactly what I was thinking. For Lemmy being an alternative to Reddit, yet instances have closed registrations. That is a way to get people not to sign up.
