(barring instances with hidden blocklists)

Apart from setting up and running your own instance to defederate*, there is no way of making your feed filter out the subset of users from dbzer0 who think they should spread their instance’s values of AI content across all parts of the Fediverse, whether or not it is welcome there. If somebody could set up an instance with this community’s values and filters in mind, I imagine that would be helpful to many of us. This instance could be adapted to defederate from other AI-spreading instances as well.

Fediseer, the default web tool for instances to document issues and endorsements of other instances, which incidentally is maintained by the admin of db0, shows that lemmy.dbzer0.com has received no censures whatsoever from other instances.

*or instead manually blocking every user from dbzer0, which would be futile as they continue to gain users

[EDIT: Since many people seem confused, here is how blocking an instance works:

Given that instances X, Y, and Z are all federated with each other:

If I am hosted on instance X and I block instance Y but don’t block instance Z, users from instance Y can still post/comment onto communities hosted on instance Z and I will still see these posts/comments.

Only by defederating from instance Y would the content made by instance Y users that is posted onto any instance become wholly filtered out for users on instance X.]

    I might be, if I had seen any evidence of what you’re describing occurring.

    I’d imagine that is also the reaction of most people downvoting you. You keep insisting this is happening, but I haven’t seen it. Provide some screenshots, anything to elevate this past “impassioned rant” and into the realm of having hard examples to talk about.

      Do there exist easy tools for obtaining data like that from Lemmy? Ex. filter by instance in modlog, filter by instance of poster in All
