How do I block users from an instance of my choice? in c/[email protected]

The default sort for someone without an account is not Local but rather All, for that reason. Someone would have to specifically switch the default to Local in order to see that? At a guess, it is just mismatched expectations - presuming that in addition to using that instance to access the Fediverse, that it would offer content of its own. Which it does but… barely. I am not sure why that should be a default expectation though?

If you look at an instance, you want to know what it is about and what the local community is like. It would be better to have an empty local feed than a feed dominated by crypto content.

Valid points. I would just hope lemmycafe would get another admin, so that they could become a more solid proposition.

Aren't you British, anyway?

As a British person, I think living under Keir has made me even more apathetic to the US’s faux-democracy.

Yes, I remember seeing it a while ago.

so why should a major Lemmy instance “push an agenda” to expose every single one of its new users to such trolls by default…

Copy pasting the list from a few days ago below. I guess most of the still federated instances just have a "very last resort" defederation policy, or that users never complained, especially with the user-level blocking.

Also, a vast majority of users aren't going to encounter HB/LG that much, especially if they avoid news and political communities. No encounter, so no complain, and no defederation.
