More and more .world bothers me. If it’s not top on my list now, it will be soon.
I blocked yiffit.net pretty early on, so I guess that? I'm not interested in the content they post, so it was easier to block the entire instance rather than each random furry porn community that would pop up onto c/all. No shame or anything against them though, just not my thing.
Well the instance is getting archived soon, so there won't be anything from there for much longer.

Huh. Any idea why?
I've always been proud of the Fediverse that it has a home for the furry community. I think it speaks to the flexibility of the platform and the live and let live vibe of the folks we have attracted.
Their thing isn't my thing, but folks seemed nice, and seemed to be enjoying themselves.
They didn't strike me as particularly vulnerable to community drama.
Good to know. Is pawb.social the instance to block now then to achieve the same goal?
Lemmy.world. Full of capatilism lovers and it's annoying. Plus a lot of American propaganda too. Would block it but it's the biggest instance so shrugs
I've seen a lot of opposition for the competitors of capital but not necessarily support for capital itself.
In my experience with hexbear and the like, "pro capitaist" just means they aren't posting 100% negativity about the US or west in general.
Well obviously lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.ml but besides these usual suspects I find that the most negative encounters I've had with people from blahaj.zone and infosec.pub
I switched over to lemmy.cafe specifically because they are defederated from those three cancer instances. Experience has been pretty great so far! :>
Bizarre, blahaj is a very nice place IMO. They might be quite quick to kick TERFs & other bad people so keep that in mind (like no jokes about racism or anti LGBT permitted, at all).
God I've had grad defederate for so long I forgot they were there
Personally, I still haven't started judging users by the instance that they made their profile on. Unless there's right wing instances but in that case I'm guessing they're de-federated from my current experience. I prefer to go by what I'm reading from an individual user or the vibe in a particular community. When you browse instances on the join page, there's no cliff notes on the turf wars between them. So a lot of users are signing up based on the written description.
Fortunately you will never know what happens when you walk into the likes of !ChapoTrapHouse@hexbear.net (especially from a post appearing in All) and dare to reply to a comment, because that entire instance has been defederated from yours.
It kept happening to so many other people, that eventually the admins simply gave up on it. Which is a good thing imho, bc I for one almost left the Threadiverse entirely based on such interactions - I don't need that noise in my life:-) - and therefore can guess that many others actually did (plus they say exactly that, over on Reddit).
You can read some of the drama here if you like:-).
Lemmy.world
Lemmy.world. i serioisly despise their de-federating from inatances.
Well, any other instance censuring other ones just because (insert your cause here), so not really anything against world in itself.
Very biased here but I think defederating from an instance filled with genocide apologia makes sense. But that’s the only reason I know of for them defederating from instances
Its still censorship and I don't like it...
But the good of the fediverse is that I can spin my instance and don't deal with that!
And I love it.
The one run by someone who banned me from it for making a joke despite never even hearing of his instance, or the 3 people that use it before.
What was the joke? You got me curious now.
idk the one that banned me
I have no idea, honestly. I don't pay attention or mingle between them.
NSFW. I was glad I could block it. Not everyone wants to look at porn.
