Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

    In fact I hear that lately PieFed.social even applies a user-level instance block against Lemmy.ml by default for all new joiners

    I don’t think this is true. I looked through the code and the only specific mentions of lemmy.ml are in the instance chooser, where it won’t show you the full defed list of an instance, but (I’m guessing) only the most commonly defederated.

    The default interests list even includes some lemmy.ml communities.

    I could be wrong though. @rimu@piefed.social probably knows for sure ;)
