I will correct the record a little here and say it is not blocked by default, but it IS used to decide if a given instance has “Good” defederation policies or not. When new users, look for an instance to join using the main piefed instance. Which, on its face, is ideologically motivated, especially when you consider it also uses two other publically socialist instances and only one right wing instance to calculate how “Good” an instance’s defederation policies are. So a 3 to 1 ratio according to the team at Piefed, they would take one fascist instance over 3 socialist instances according to their own metric. What’s interesting to me is that Lemmy, as a platform and a piece of infrastructure built and maintained by open communists, has none of these issues. You might take issue with the way Lemmy.ml, or Hexbear, or Lemmygrad manage their instances, but none of that is a result of the codebase.
What’s sad is that since
lemmy.mlis blocked by default, most PieFed users won’t see it.I will correct the record a little here and say it is not blocked by default, but it IS used to decide if a given instance has “Good” defederation policies or not.

Funnily enough piefed.social does not seem to block .ml
You’re right, interesting 🤔
