Another vote for blocking but not de-federating. De-federating is a nuclear option with a lot of collateral damage, and it's pretty easy nowadays to just start screaming "pedophile" if your goal is to cause collateral damage. I'm worried that if instances start defederating in a knee-jerk reaction, it will be weaponized.

Just block it.

How is "federation" defined for lemmy. Is it like idp federation where your username/password is shared across instances - or does it mean something related to sharing communities?

@TheDude@sh.itjust.works, this is what I messaged about before seeing there was a thread.
