    There has to be a better way to handle this. Instead of just showing nothing maybe a nsfw image or something with a link to the instance? I don’t know… But just defederating can’t be the solution. Totally kills the point of lemmy.

    I actually stoped my donation and created an account on a different instance.

    I’ll pump money into severs hosting in non bullshit countries then. We need to be better protected otherwise this will never work.

      They did not defederate, they just blocked the instance (so basically what you are suggesting)

        They did not block the instance. They blocked a community on the instance. Huge difference.

        The rest of dbzer0 and all its other communities are still federated and visible from lemmy.world.

        What’s the distinction of it being blocked vs defederated? I just want to make sure I can see their posts and they can see mine.
