Hi all, I’m a Lemmy FOSS app contributor that’s made a couple of tools for people starting small instances including Lemmy Community Seeder (LCS) for building content on new server’s All Feeds and Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) for clearing old posts on smaller instances.

Today I’m releasing Lemmy Defederation Sync (LDS). When launching a new Lemmy instance, administrators may not understand the necessity of defederation with problem instances. Using LDS, you can sync your instance’s “blocked instance” list with that of another server(s) whose admins you trust.

    I haven’t heard of users or instances getting banned/blocked for supporting the wrong political party either unless racism, brigading, CP, and death threats are core tenets of said party, which leads me to believe you may be referring to the Republican party in the US?

      As usual, the American can’t see anything beyond their little island, also, in case you didn’t know, tankie servs get routinely defederated, and it’s not for their racism/transphobia or whichever big word is so easy to brandish when angry

        So now you also claim to know the private thoughts and motivations of Lemmy instance admins? What a special and unique ability you possess. I’m surprised you’re wasting your telepathic talent on this and not using it to get rich.

          it’s called reading around, it’s like watching tiktoks but with text, though it requires some form of context guessing which will be a challenge since the conversations you can read online are not always directed at you

            Well you ‘read around’ when you read my comment so you must be in agreement with me now, no? Isn’t that how it works or do you only believe the things that confirm your preconceived notions?

            The fact that you use “TikToks with texts” as your analogy kinda confirms my suspicions that it’s the latter.
