  • I think my instance is now defed’d from hexbear, but when it wasn’t, they were the reason I wouldnt recommend lemmy to my partner. Their “trolling” was pure obnoxiousness.

    The other major issue I think is the lack of moderation, lemmy just isnt a very pleasant space. There are still issues with spam. The CSAM incident a while back hasnt been repeated, but I have no reason to beleive it cant/wont happen again. Porn seems to hit All every so often.

    With an agressively curated block list Lemmy can be nicer, but by default it just isnt.

    Here is an idea for dissection: There should be a default blocklist that instances can provide and update. Defederation is too coarse a tool, but if instances (or third parties?) could provide a list of “bad” instances, “bad” communities and “bad” users that are used as the default blocklist. Users are free to opt out of the blocklist, but with a sane default lemmy could be a lot safer. (Or maybe not, im no expert)
