Would it be realistic to try to set up an america-free instance? (feddit.uk)

I thought it'd be nice for the rest of the world to have a de-america'd instance where there's no discussion of america, certainly no american politics, and no americans are allowed via IP block.

But I think to do that effectively, you'd probably have to defederate from most of the rest of lemmy, and then you've lost most of the federation benefits of being a lemmy instance. However I'm only vaguely familiar with how all of the connections work so maybe someone can correct me.

Am American, my advice? Just use communities/instances that don't use English as their primary language. If you want to be extra safe avoid Spanish too.
