But non-spammy regular users wouldn’t be able to post or interact at that point, right? Also, how would that affect users on a third party instance? For example, I’m on lemm.ee
Genuine question, not too familiar with how the backend of Lemmy works and am curious to learn more :)
Take this with a grain of salt since im also not very fammiliar with the lemmy backend, but i think it would be like this:
If lemmy.world defederates from szmer.info all users from szmer (both spammers and normal users) would be able to see and comment on posts made on lemmy.world BUT those comments would only show up for other users on szmer.
For users on other instances (like lemm.ee) the situation would be the same as for users on lemmy.world .
Again im not an expert so this might be wrong (if it is feel free to correct me).
That's how I had hoped it would work. So if it continues, just one instance can clean it up so all the others don't need to take any action.
Probably the easiest solution. Just had to remove another one, guess we'll see what happens.
