I just remember it being a thing a while back between World, Hexbear, ML, ExplodingHeads, etc where admins had a clash of views and decided to just sever federation. Like I get that some instances are run be wackos and some people don’t want to see certain certain content, but I’d rather make that choice myself as a user and block what I don’t want to see, as opposed to my instance admin making that decision for everyone. One thing I always appreciated about EE was that they defederated from spam and unsavory (ie CP) instances, but they left the majority of it to the user. I’m just not a fan of blanket bans, even if I agree with it.
I mean… Hexbear is just… yikes. What a complete, total bag of extremist a-holes, and why in the world would any other instance entertain their BS, y’know?
“World” at least tries to carry the brunt of the server and user-load, whether that’s wise or not. But we can certainly admire that, amirite?
“ML” is arguably ‘tankie’ in nature, altho personally the main dev has always treated me well, and I really can’t say anything bad about those guys.
Absolutely, and I’ve had a lot of the more insane and extreme content block for a long time. That said, I don’t agree with admins making executive decisions on what users see and don’t see. In a similar vein, i stance admins are free to govern their servers as they please, which is why I’m bummed EE is going down, and why I’d like to find an instance that has a similar stand on federation.

I don’t have the slightest clue what that is…
