it seems we're now blocking hexbear. i haven't been active recently; did something happen about 8 days ago?

EDIT: it wasn't intentional:

Honestly thank god. That place is getting louder and louder and spilling their obvious double standards and apologetics for Authoritarianism all over my feed. They will not be missed.

Is there anyway to know what instances your instance defederates?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Your.instance.domain/instances

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It's also typically in the footer under instances.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

I didn't even notice. I've had them on my instance block list since the day instancr blocking was added to Lemmy.

This seems unintentional. We're looking into it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it seems to have happened again

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Thanks we fixed but I'm researching the root cause.

EDIT: OK found the bug and fixed.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think it would be good to defed as few instances as possible.

Leave the decision to the user.

(I didn’t notice the defed)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The user does not have that decision. Instance blocking does not stop users from that instance from interacting with you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I haven't really had negative interactions with hexbear users since instance blocking and blocking like 30 users I noticed being assholes way back. Maybe they're still responding to my comments without my knowing but idc

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Same here. I do like having them there, but I wouldn't want to live on their instance because of the trolls

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then I’m oblivious how lemmy federation works.

Gotta read up on it

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Mostly that blocking and defederation aren't the same thing. Blocking only stops the comms on that instance from showing up in your feed. It's entirely unrelated to the federation / activitypub mechanic. It's effectively like you turning on a local filter in your client, and only filters communities.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My experience on my old .world acct was that defederation didn't stop user interactions/comments, just posts and search/discovery.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Huh. I don't know why i could still see stuff on the old one. Idk. But then again I'm no expert on it 🤷

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wait, what? That's odd. It wasn't intentional that's for sure.

Edit: db0 fixed it. Was some threativore fuck up.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know but that tracks.

hexbear is um.. funky.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

They still having CSAM issues?
