I’m tired of supporting instances that support that trash. Are there any suggestions or even a good up-to-date list available?
AFAIK, beehaw.org has recently defederated from the 3rd big tankie instance, which is why I’m here.
Sadly my instance blocks them, would love to see their Linux memes.
You’re not missing anything.
I miss their Linux memes
So you’re fine with tankie psyop propaganda as long as theme memes are good?
No, but I’m a grown adult, the content I consume doesn’t need to be decided by others.
Just add it to your block list. No need to change instances.
The instance itself still supports those assholes though. It’s like shopping in a store that supports fascism. I’d rather not give them my business
I find them entertaining 🤷 somebody has to keep trying to talk them off the ledge.
Here’s a diagram

here’s another

Since those diagrams were made, beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.ml. But they also have lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works defederated so it’s… not a popular choice.
PieFed has the concept of silencing another instance. A silenced instance is not defederated from but their posts do not show in the Popular or All feeds and their communities are not shown during onboarding. Their communities can still be found in the communities list (if you unblock the instance first) and joined in the normal way. Once joined, posts in there show up in the Subscribed feed of the joiner as usual.
Since I added silencing functionality I feel like there’s almost no need for (more) defederation. I can offer protection to newbies who don’t yet know which places to avoid and they can explore the dark corners when they’re ready. It’s a low-drama way to put a bit of distance between groups that rub each other the wrong way.
beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.ml
Good move from the admins.
Federating seemed reasonable at first glance. I thought interacting with lemmy.ml would be worth it to see a wider range of opinions, avoid the bubble effect. It felt like interacting with yet another bubble that hates introspection and reject all critical comments outrights. Got quickly banned from a community with the reason “nazy” after I pointed out Iran’s human right violations, in a post about Iran and human rights. In retrospect those interactions where a total waste of time.
Lemmy.world’s is a shithole too, so maybe beehaw is the right choice.
I love it here. We’ve got a relatively small amount of monthly active users, but it’s soo worth it. It’s like a quality over quantity thing, big time. Most people here really take the whole “be(e) kind” and “try to participate in good faith” stuff seriously. Also, the admins are awesome.
I’ve got a whole slew of accounts on many different instances, but Beehaw is definitely my fediverse home and the one I use the most by far. <3
And! Our mascot is a lil bee in a cowboy hat. How cute is that??
Anywho, if you decide you wanna give it a shot, we’d love to have ya! Either way, I hope you find one that fits what you’re looking for! :)
*Edit: There’s something else I thought of that may interest you. There’s long been talk of Beehaw moving off of the Lemmy software both because of it’s limitations and due to not wanting to support the devs/the lemmy.ml admins. Last I heard, we’re just kind of sticking with what we’ve got until there’s something else that’ll work better for us and still federate with others, like Sublinks iirc.
Why not just defenders from them entirety? It’s not like they hold any value at all.
With the silencing and default-block setup piefed.social has now, we get all the benefits of defederation without any of the costs.
There really hasn’t been the kind of crisis with them that would bring the issue to a head. When there are problems it’s not with the admins, it’s with individual accounts. So we just muddle on.
There are worse instances.
We can’t divide and fight our way to a fediverse that defeats reddit / meta. We need to build something together. Sometimes that will mean excluding destructive elements but most of our energy needs to go into making something awesome, a place people want to come to instead of big tech offerings.
The problem is, remaining federated with them is supporting them, hidden or not. Silencing them just cuts them off on one side. .ml trolls still see content created on the instance.
I see any instance not willing to completely cut ties with that shithole as supporting it. Even in the smallest way.
And frankly, I don’t understand why anyone would NOT disassociate with them. They have proven themselves to not want anything to do with fair discourse or allow facts into any discussion. This isn’t an opinion, this is very well documented. Not only is there an entire community dedicated to calling them out- but the modlogs are full of those asshole admins banning anyone they disagree with regardless if they violated any of the posted rules.
Who would want to be a part of this?
If you’re not defederated from it entirely; you support it.
I don’t think federation implies endorsement or support. It’s more like “isn’t bad enough to cast out forever”.
PieFed has more of a spectrum of federation. There are trusted instances, normal instances, silenced instances and defederated instances. So it’s not a binary choice.
.ml trolls still see content created on the instance.
Yes that is a bummer. I have made a few attempts to limit federation based on what the poster has blocked but Lemmy is quite good at pulling in content that it previously didn’t receive, which works around it. More effort on this is needed.
Not on Lemmy really, maybe on piefed. That said it may be easiest to pick an instance and just block it from your client.
Exactly what I did.
Lemmy.cafe is defederated with .ml, Hexbear, and Lemmygrad.
Oh sheesh stop acting like a baby. If you don’t want to read something then don’t read it.
Re infosec.pub: I just logged in and checked, and I can see .ml communities from here.
The newest post on the privacy community on lemmy.ml is 10 months old when viewed on infosec.pub. There are posts from today when you view the same community on any other instance.
Defederation doesn’t remove communities, it just stops updating them. The local copy remains viewable and intractable, but it will not send or receive changes to any other instance. The posts you can see are old posts from before they defederated.
Infosec blocks ml. They are defederated. Lemmy has some severe UX issues related to defederation. Blocked communities look plausibly like extant ones even though they’re not.
If you don’t want to read something then don’t read it.
this is literally what the OP is trying to achieve.
Thank you.
I don’t want to support something that allows those assholes.
Do you tell people that don’t want to support companies that support oppressive laws to stop being a baby?
You can fuck all the way off with your bullshit.
If you don’t want to read something then don’t read it.
Are you opposed to the concept of moderation?
Odd, because it’s on the blocked list for the instance.
I’m guessing the lemmy.ml communities the other user can see are not receiving new content. After defederation they wouldn’t get new content but you’d still see them there locally.
Let’s all take advice from a 3 day old account, yay!
Infosec, you say. Ironic.
Based on @zedstrian@sopuli.xyz’s post, it looks like the only large instance that defederates lemmy.ml is infosec.pub . I have no specific knowledge of that instance though.
When accounting for several other relatively large instances I didn’t include in my original chart, fedia.io and lemmy.cafe also defederate lemmy.ml.
Expanding on @rimu@piefed.social’s point, the Piefed instances piefed.social and feddit.online silence lemmy.ml.
I think beehaw recently defederated from ml, and I like it here a lot :)
As an mbin fan, I’ve been liking fedia.io.
I’m real happy over here.
I mean are you paying money for them, when you say supported?
Or you just registered here.
By creating content thst can be consumed by those assholes.
ml is the dev instance. you’re supporting it by using lemmy. so really you should look for software that doesn’t federate with any lemmy instances.
OP is on Piefed.
on an instance that federates with lemmy. also, idk if that’s better really.
Biased bc I’m a piefed user but I think pidfed is far better
even with the built-in censors and autoblocks? :/
Everyone makes a big deal out of that as if most of it isn’t ml stuff like OP is talking about and/or stated upfront on Piefed’s website. Mastodon instances have other instances they don’t federate with too.
it is now. because people made a stink about it not being there. and even so it’s still not detailed. a few of the big things is stuff like ocr-ing every image post to figure out if it’s from a chan board, auto-hiding anything tagged with “meme”, adding a hidden second layer of “trustworthiness” scoring to every user independent of the score of their posts and comments which pushes them up or down the comment chain, and pushing/pulling those trustworthiness scores from a server periodically.
Idk about the tag thing. I do know of the chan board thing and I mean fuck those places, I don’t particularly mind. The trustworthiness score tho is different, pls do tell.
I’m not on lemmy.
yeah we went through that already.
