I’m tired of supporting instances that support that trash. Are there any suggestions or even a good up-to-date list available?

    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.
