    Lemmy has no resistance whatsoever to such content except that while those instances can exist, other instances can defederate from them. Defederation by the larger lemmy instances puts up an effective wall so they’ll be more difficult to discover from within a smaller instance.

    Thus, any instance can effectively “ban” any other instance that is okay to host whatever content they wish, while any other instance can continue to remain connectable. This makes it easier to get away from disgusting shit since you don’t need a team of site admins who pick and choose what’s advertiser friendly or not for you, but instead people who legitimately want the best for their communities.

      Isn’t this what happened to raspberry.social when they started telling everyone to unfollow them if they don’t agree. They got defederated. ilIt’s not child porn bad but it’s a swift action if an instance don’t play nice.

        Oh that was an interesting read! Thanks for the link! But yes, this is exactly the sort of behaviour I expect and envision for the future of the Fediverse.

          It’s like fricking magic. Generating outrage doesn’t work. The same behaviour that would have gotten headlines elsewhere got them a timeout.

          I hope for the sake of society that the Fediverse is the future of mainstream social media.
