Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.

It’s your instance (lemmings.world) admin.

This… This is how fediverse works though… You are also on an instance run basically entirely on volunteer work.

If “we quit” there is no fediverse. On top of it all moderation tools are not mature enough yet.

You’d rather have your data scraped and sold? Or pay to use a platform like this?

Please don’t create a bot account that is not flagged as a bot. There is enough malicious activity that you might not see because mods/admins are doing their job.

There is no need to increase the volunteer work these people do.

I believe many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com simply because instance admins don’t want that legal responsibility and don’t have tools to keep an eye on it.

It’s been there for quite a long time though, just incase people here were not aware.

Lots of drama, sometimes defederations would make headlines on world news.
