Which piefed instances defederate from the triad and similar instances?
My home instance is down so I figured I’d make a piefed account since I recall them defederating from the tankie triad. This doesn’t seem to be the case any more? Any suggestions for such instances?
So, I know that your question has been answered now, but when you made this post, it made me look at the instances page and realize that it wasn't easily searchable when you just wanted to look at blocked instances. I tweaked the code for the page a bit so that it is easier to search for blocked instances using the search bar and rimu has pushed it live on piefed.social.
So, you can now search the blocked instances list. For example, this link will take you to the list of blocked instances that have "club" in the name. Due to technical limitations, only the text search will work when you are filtering to the blocked instances, so I have also disabled the other filters that are non-funtional anyway when looking at blocked instances.
Thank you!
That’s awesome, thanks so much. Appreciate your being proactive and will check it out!
You can block instances on Piefed, you can have this on pretty much any instance.
Yeah I’ve done this already for ml but it’s one way right? I can’t see them but they can still interact with my stuff? Either way 2/3 isn’t half bad for the moment.
It is one way when you post into a Lemmy community - the Lemmy instance will forward your post on to lemmy.ml even if you've blocked it.
But in a PieFed.social community it won't send to any instance you've blocked.
Yeah, I feel you. Except for special circumstances I actually prefer not to block people so they can't stealth-disagree with me without me getting a chance to yell back at them in turn.
Personally, my feeling is that it's also actually better not to shut out the triad instances. That's actually what they want. That is the entire reason and rationale why they block so aggressively, that they want to create a little bubble where no one calls them out on stuff. Shunning them just helps them do that. It's actually gotten worse in the time I've been around on Lemmy, I think, and I think it is from people turning them off at least as much as it is from their own blocks from their side. At present, they will sometimes come out and say stuff that is just total nonsense that is in line with the hivemind and then seem to be genuinely surprised if someone reacts negatively to it. And, they think that anything not in the triad is "the lib instances" and seem to think that it's a minority category or something, and again seem sincerely surprised sometimes if some indication emerges that it's not popular. I don't think that used to happen, I think they used to have an awareness of where the dividing-lines of different echo chambers were even if they and I would disagree about which one is "right."
None of this is to say you shouldn't block them or find a fully defederated place of course. Just giving my thoughts on it.
Piefed.social defederates from hexbear and lemmygrad, but not lemmy.ml.
Same with feddit.online
Thanks for the info! Stuff it, that may just be close enough.
Iirc piefed automatically is defederated from hex and grad, the admin has to manually federate with those two.
