lemmit.online is currently allowed on sh.itjust.works but blocked on lemmy.ca so I looked into it a bit deeper and found there are other differences between the list of sitewide blocked instances for each server.
I’m bringing this to your attention as a low priority background task request to review the differences and see whether the instance in question should be blocked on both sites or allowed for each since they are both fedecan sites.
Here are some stats about the blocked instances:
- 90 instances are blocked on lemmy.ca
- 100 instances are blocked on sh.itjust.works
- 29 blocked instances are common between lemmy.ca and sh.itjust.works
- 61 instances are blocked only for lemmy.ca but not on sh.itjust.works
- 71 instances are blocked only for sh.itjust.works but not on lemmy.ca
I’ll post in some comments to this post the list of instances blocked on only one of the two fedecan owned lemmy servers and the shell commands I used to gather the data.
Sorry bout that, link fixed.
A couple idea threads to pursue in response to your follow ups: Have you seen dbzero’s Fediseer? Also, automated community moderation to automatically block users that comment more combatively across other communities and unblock once they establish a pattern of being less so, has been tried on a political news community on lemm.ee before, but lemm.ee is gone now for unrelated reasons. I just wonder if that underlying project is still available and in use somewhere. I don’t currently have the energy to look it up.
Ah cool, I wasn’t aware of dbzero’s Fediseer. Looks like a good way to identify problematic instances to block.
I’m just an end user of lemmy trying to use it more and went down a rabbit hole about blocked instances when I came across something that impacted me.
