It’s the “silently” part that’s the issue. I acknowledge that lemmy.cafe is entitled to defederate from whatever servers the administration pleases, but lemmy.ml still houses some of the largest communities in the Lemmyverse on some topics, and a heads-up that it was being blocked would have been appreciated.
You’re right, I’m sorry. I should’ve communicated it, but life got in a way. Will do better in the future.
Hexbear and lemmygrad have been blocked since pretty much the very beginning. Lemmy exposes linked and blocked instances at the /instances endpoint.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks but I found hexbear on the linked instances list, and not on the blocked list:
Thanks for the heads up! I must’ve removed it by accident. Fixed!
Blocking lemmy.ml is a great idea.
Is there any backstory or explanation for the hatred of lemmy.ml? =)
