Yeah. They need to come back too. Most of the trolls went back to being reddiots. The participation there has been on a hard downward trend since defederating. There are less than 500 per day on there now most days.
Exactly, if an instance loves to censor others so much they should deal with the consequences of less interaction and visibility. lemmy.ml is also dropping off my feed because their devs have beef with Kbin’s dev and they blocked interactions from all Kbin instances.
I was really surprised to hear this, so I dug a little deeper. It looks like an honest mistake.
Here’s what their admin said:
We unintionally did until about 8 hours ago.
Lemmy.ml has a ton of bot crawlers in its nginx logs spam fetching posts, so I added the bots to an nginx block. Turns out one called kbinbot wasn’t actually a crawling bot, but their federation requester.
If we don’t respond quickly, its because we have notification backlogs that are months long at this point.
Doesn’t matter if they’re dead and their core supporters get discouraged. There are a lot of posts that are just by a dozen or so people with little engagement. That is not sustainable.
It doesn’t have to be active like reddit right? Or even like Lemmy was around the blackouts? A community can remain active even without federating with lemmy.world. People can still sign up for Beehaw and see their posts from other instances (like feddit.uk or the canadian one).

But mod tools have not improved. Anyone could technically still join lemmy.world and troll them which was one of their concerns.

Yes it is. I’ve been on forums with ~20 or so active people and it lasted for years.
I bet you weren’t posting 100 articles a day with a comment or few each.
