A number of instances defederated from it because… well, the reason a number of people are here is to not be on Reddit and seeing a mass deluge of content ported from Reddit defeats that purpose. There other other reasons too, like the fact it makes a ton of submissions and each has very few if no comments leading to the impression of a very barren community.
Yeah, makes sense. I wonder if there’s going to be a mute/shadow federation function so that the instance doesn’t show up in /all, but you can still subscribe to a community to see its posts on your subscribed page.
Not for this instance specifically, but as in some general functionality.
I debated blocking the instance because it’s literally just a bot copy and pasting reddit posts, but you can ask the bot to copy/paste content from any subreddit and there are a lot of amateur porn subreddits that I kind of miss…well, used to anyways.
Maybe I’m naive but I don’t like broad defederation from a platform. That’s what will ruin the dedicerse when the money and large companies creep in. Imagine Sony vs Microsoft video game wars with exclusives. It’s a system designed for decentralized enjoyment of all. Banning/blocking instances from other instances by default is problematic to the health of the basic idea of federation.
Looks like it’s defederated from kbin. Its communities don’t show up in search.

Oh good, I don’t need to block it myself!

Leave the decision in the user’s hands, IMO.
