This is why I was suggesting you would have conditions to apply these bans, for example that other admins you trust are applying them

I think that should happen too

I think that's a simplistic view. We've seen people defederating or asking for defederation for the existence of a single community. Just because instance admins have different ideas of what's tolerable doesn't mean the rest of the communities at large can't collaborate.

The point where admins would have settings to accept/review ban lists was to reduce the risk of abuse

Can you choose which ones to apply and which ones not to?

lol I wouldn't be surprised if it did and I didn't know about it

It does surprise me because from what I've been reading the mod tools and ban capabilities were... limited

Alternative to defederation (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

I hope this is the right place to discuss a potential feature for lemmy.

I've been reading a lot of the defederation calls from instances and their users. More often than not, this was due to very specific elements of those instances; trolls, extremists, etc... But in my opinion, defederating a whole instance because of that is a sad pity.

I was thinking a way to solve this would be to have a federated blacklist. Instance Admins would ban user accounts from their instance and that would be added to a list that could be consulted/automatically used by other instance owners. They would ideally be able to set parameters, like banning users from a list accepted by a number of other instances, a specific reason for the ban, or banned by specific instances.

This would lessen the administrative load, protect instances, allow different instances with shared concerns to help each other while allowing their own users to interact with the 'compatible' users and communities from other instances.

Just an idea and wanted to bring it up and hear some thoughts.
