Hi,

I remember reading that lemmy.world defederated from the exploding heads instance (rightly so imo), but now i’m seeing their posts on my feed.

Did the hack from the other day affect the defederation? is this a bug or something i have to change the settings of?

Thanks.

    Yes, the hackers emptied the defederation lists, so the operators will have to put them back on.

      Pretty sure they were the ones who did it too

      They were suuuuuper upset because lemmy.world doing it lead to a bunch of others.

      It’s why I joined this instance, my old said it was just a “difference of opinion” and we should tolerate the intolerant

        Yeah I stayed here when the servers overloaded because someone not respecting my status as an equal human being shouldn’t be “a difference of opinion” it’s just bigotry.

      I thought I saw a weird uptick in different content yesterday than what I had been used to seeing on lemmy.world. Just way more extreme political stuff on the Left and Right. That makes sense now.

        The posts newly Federated after the block list got emptied, so it’ll take a little bit for them to go away, since I don’t believe Lemmy retroactively removes content from defederated instances.

          That makes sense with what I’m seeing. I don’t see any new posts, but yesterday I saw them on the 2nd or 3rd page if I kept scrolling.
