The update to the Lemmy backend reworked the blocklist and so every instance that we previously blocked was unblocked. We added it back in, let us know if there’s more instances we should defederate from.

    Thank you for your service. o7

    EDIT: Please disregard everything below, instance admins added back the old blocklist.

    I just went over the list of linked instances, if I remember correctly, we were defederated from these for being troll instances (though, you might have taken the last one down? also, I didn’t click on any of the links to confirm whether they’re still online because I really don’t want to see those images again):

    lemmy.jihad.icu
    lemmy.nekrofilie.ga
    lemmygrad.com
    

    and from this one for platforming alt-righters:

    wolfballs.com
    

    I think we had a couple more Lemmy instances blocked due to moderators not being very active and thus the same trolls would create accounts there. I don’t remember the URLs for these.

    There’s a ton of Mastodon instances in the “linked instances” list which I can’t assess, but I think they’re not an issue right now, we can defederate from at any time if they come here to start causing problems.
