In my experience, the larger threadiverse instances have gradually collected the worst ex-redditors, who have brought the worst of reddit’s culture. I’m unfortunately not surprised that lemmy.world has queerphobic mods, given how the users behave. 😕
Changing the domain of an established fedi instance is very difficult, almost to the point of impossibility.
They are mastodon-specific, but most fedi software has a similar feature. Or at least, all of the mainstream microblogging software does, as well as some of the image / video sharing platforms. I’m unsure about Lemmy and Kbin. Here are the equivalent settings for FireFish:
You’re thinking of LIMITED_FEDERATION_MODE, which is different from AUTHORIZED_FETCH.
Defederation actually does work both ways if the instance enables AUTHORIZED_FETCH. That setting requires 3rd party systems to prove their identity before they can retrieve any data, which allows an instance to block defederated domains. I don’t know if Lemmy or Kbin supports that, but practically all of the microblogging fedi software does (that being Mastodon / GlitchSoc, Pleroma / Akkoma, Misskey / FoundKey / FireFish, and GoToSocial).
And of course, OP is now banned 🙄
