How to block another instance to curate your Lemmy experience
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
lemmy.world (your home instance) is currently defederated on an instancewide level from the main perpetrators of the CCP/Putin-sponsored drivel: lemmygrad and hexbear. They caused too many problems, and too many use abuse brigades/dogpiles, so they excised the cancer.
Defederation means that lemmy.world does not ask for, and does not accept, any kind of new content from either of those instances, nor does it send out new content from .world to them. They're effectively completely cut off.
you'll still see it from time to time on lemmy.ml, especially in their "World News" community (where you are banned for remotely indicating Russia is bad) as a lot of that is tacitly allowed and encouraged by .ml admins and the Lemmy devs. but it's a lot more subdued and easier to just ignore.
