How come?

A block allows the tankies to see the normal person’s comments and to reply to they. The only effect of a block is that you won’t know someone has replied to your comment and can badmouth you freely. So yeah, regarding blocks you are right.

But a defederation works differently. Users of a defederated instance do not see the comments on the otger side of the breakage at all, and therefore cannot troll under them either. If your instance fully defederates from the trolls, you really do get a better experience. There’s no need for everyone to defederate for defederation to benefit the instance’s users.

Recommend some instance that defederates the Tankie Triad. Problem solved?

And beside that, maybe choose an instance that is running PieFed, PyLova or mBin?

Why are you writing tankie in quotes?

One of my first experiences in the Fediverse was mentioning the Uyghur genocide and having my comment promptly removed by the .ml admins. They’ve been doing this all the time.

All communities propagate everywhere, basically. When a community has even one subscriber from an instance, all of that community’s future content will propagate to that instance.

And write the r in org.
