Our instance is federated with hexbear, lemmygrad etc. I want to be resonsible for what I see and block, I'm really not a fan of defederation unless it's a last resort (i.e. CSAM or other illegal content).
I did end up blocking the lemmy.ml instance though, fuck that place. I haven't even blocked hexbear or lemmygrad.
No that's new to me too, based off me searching the word and seeing the Wiki article on the toy. I'd seen the word because of one of the instances (blahaj zone), but I literally never see the word outside of Lemmy.
Admins: we want some feedback from the community about the media fact check bot.
Everyone: we hate it, turn it off.
Admins: ok, we heard you, we're going to keep it on.
