FYI you can block instances on Lemmy yourself if you don't want to see anything from them anymore. This isn't the same as defederating of course, but could be a solution for now.
Blocking .ml will prevent you from posts made on there instance, you will still see comments from the users.
And they will still brigade you if one calls for backup.
This seems like a horrible oversight.
I actually like it better this way. In my experience the core tankies stay mostly to themselves, most .ml users i see in the wild (non-triad coms) are either better behaved or only joined .ml because of its flagship status, rather than ideological reasons.
Then again, i wouldnt say the same about other instances i blocked, so maybe a two-tiered block system: "coms only" and "coms plus users"
It doesn’t stop the seepage of their dipshits into other instances though.
