Some of those instance names are, uh, interesting.

I feel like I might be put on a FBI list for reading this.
I’m genuinely disappointed that Asbestos Cafe is basically forbidden now. That’d be a solid name for a hardcore alcoholic vegan bar.
Jfc right? What possessed someone to make some of those?
I was curious what freak.university was but it just leads to a 404 :/
Based on some of these other site names, you probably don't actually want to know

Trumpislovetrumpislife, that has to be satire, right?

Wait till you visit nazi.social
I have to know what the Detroit soccer team did to get so high on that list. Somebody here must know. Please!
it's a big pedo instance iirc
Really? I know they have a bunch of porn bots, I don't think I ever interacted with someone on there, just saw bot posts in my federated feed. I never noticed anything pedoish, but of course I don't click content warnings so I wouldn't know, I'm not interested in NSFW stuff on fedi.

I zoom in and this is the FIRST thing I see. What in the god damned shit?
Didn't see that one. The one that caught my eye and made me double take was
rapefemenists.social
And it's above Threads.net. Talk about priorities lol

As long as the pedo shit is blocked i dont see why u would want to defederate instead of letting each user block what they want. We need a user level federated blocklist.
Anything illegal posted on a remote server will bring legal trouble to you as a server admin the moment it federates onto your instance. Therefore I completely understand them defederating from instances with a high risk of illegal activity.

At least on Lemmy, defederating is also a way of banning all the instance's users from your communities. If you're constantly banning one instance's users and their admins seem fine with it, there's really no other way.
I wish I, an individual account, could defederate from instances, like some way to block all those instances' users.

Because in order to block content, the user first has to see it. If I were an instance admin, I wouldn't force my users to see any amount of N words and homophobic slurs, not even the once it takes to block it.

If you want to see far-right content and spam, join a far-right server or run your own, rather than trying to shame server owners into doing what you want.
Admins are entitled to decide what they platform and what they don't. On top of that, the user experience of "just block 100 servers of Nazis and incels to get to the content you want to see" is complete dogshit.
This "it should all be user level" is just apologist bullshit.

How bad are these that Hexbear didn't even make the list? Drilling through on the clickable version here makes it clear that the #1, poa.st, has the same basic content as Hexbear, but I'm assuming it's somehow way worse. Just imagine.
hexbear isn't even malicious. hexbear is spicy at best. not nearly as bad as lemmygrad, which is outright repugnant in its overt hostility. hexbear users are at least CAPABLE of communicating, whereas in my experience lemmygrad users pull the animal farm squealer move and defecate on the floor before storming out.

I visited a few out of mindless curiosity and ignorance. I have no idea wtf I read and now the FBI is after me…
Can someone give me a brief rundown on what it means to be federated vs defederated? New to lemmy
Really basic summary
Federated means that instances are connected, i.e. lemmy.world accounts and posts can interact with sh.itjust.works ones.
Defederated means that one of the instances is blocked by the other, so all communication between the two is blacklisted.

What is varishangout..net? Initially read it as yarishangout.net and wondered why a space for Toyota Yaris owners got defedded. Also wondering how stereophonic.space got defedded?

You thankfully appear to have not been exposed to a "proper" hexbear thread where all they can do to communicate is call you a shitlib for doing things like acknowledging genocide.

Yeah? Can you provide even 1 example of someone on Hexbear posting something a) civil and b) not fascist?

Their top stickied post seems to be a biography of a 19th century French anarchist. That's about as 10/10 wholesome chungus as it gets.
Past that, the front page is mostly full of screenshots of other social media posts mixed in with the occasional news item.
This guy is asking for help meeting people because he's an introvert.
This is a meme about the Roman Empire being a vector for olive trees.
Like, this isn't a difficult challenge.
