I thought it’d be nice for the rest of the world to have a de-america’d instance where there’s no discussion of america, certainly no american politics, and no americans are allowed via IP block.
But I think to do that effectively, you’d probably have to defederate from most of the rest of lemmy, and then you’ve lost most of the federation benefits of being a lemmy instance. However I’m only vaguely familiar with how all of the connections work so maybe someone can correct me.
You could try but I feel its needlessly complex and antagonistic. You can get close enough to your goal but filtering American politics out by blocking news/politics communties and then setting up a non america news and non american politics community boom you’ve pretty much got an “america free instance”
Once shared blocklists get added I feel this will be easier to setup and distribute.
Thank you for this. I’m American, and I can’t stand our politics either. I still try my best to take care of my fellow humans, wherever they call home.
