I figured since their admin has asked them to stop participating over here it may be worthwhile to get a new discussion going that is primarily blahaj. I’m almost certain they’ll still be upvoting so keep that in mind as that may skew things. Worthwhile to check in from instances that have already defederated them. The previous thread definitely left a bad taste in my mouth but what do y’all think?

Old thread can be found here

EDIT: With regards to the post on new federation guidelines here: https://hexbear.net/post/352119

The current top comment is:

Every instance that has talked shit and got dogpiled should be thanking us for breathing some life into their dead and boring ass websites.

    I wish there were a way to lock threads to the local instance.

    Might be worth putting this feature in an automod bot in the long term.

      could making a community like Blahaj.meta and only federating with Blajhaj.zone be a workaroud?

        This is pretty slick. Should work as far as I can tell. Maybe an outsized amount of work to host another instance though.

        *not from blahaj

        it wouldnt show up in local, so you might miss some folks that stick exclusively to blahaj

        crossposting with a local post would fix it somewhat though i guess
