That’s a pretty common mindset amongst small instance runners I think, including the one I’m on. Only caveat, this instance doesn’t allow NSFW posting (viewing is fine), and has a pretty vague ban policy lmao
Yeah, but if you were to advertise your instance, this is probably something I’d put as a selling point, rather than have some racist person sign up to your instance only to get banned a couple days later.
Defederation because of harassment seems excessive, surely one can just mute a user? Not sure if I’d be comfortable with your defedation policy. It’s one thing to defederate from definitely-illegal-content like CSAM, it’s another thing to defederate because feelings were hurt.

That’s not how federation works. You can still interact with lemmy.world and its users from another instance, but spreading out not only helps with lemmy.world’s load, but also the fediverse.
It’s actually really bad. With how big it is, it’s now the default for even new mobile applications, which means it will now only grow bigger. 5x is just the start. We are just seeing the start of the centralised decentralised Lemmyverse.
