    If they add user-level defed, I’d be pretty on board with defederation being used for stuff like bot farms.

    As it stands, with the current lack of user-level defed-- defederating is a server/user-whitelist, server-blacklist function.

    Ideally I think it should be a server/user-whitelist, user-blacklist function, where a server-blacklist is reserved for botfarms/illegal content.

      more ideally would be as many levels of granular control as possable for users and their clients.

      However Servers ghould get

      • whitelist/blacklist of users
      • blacklist/whitelist of communities (prevents blocking servers for just their groups)
      • blacklist/whitelist of servers
      • server federation

      The point is to blacklist as specific as needed, EX: dont block lemmy dot Marxist Lennonists just its extremist communities (ml admins have a communism chinaphile problem)
