No more than an instance on Lemmy can make it so blocked a counts can't reply to someone who blocked them. That's just contradictory blocking philosophies at play.

The way that the defederation claim was originally made was that Piefed automatically blocks lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad and automatically repopulates those instances as blocked if an instance owner wipes their defederation. This wasn't true. And lemmy.ml has never been on the autoblocklist.

In my opinion, this blocking philosophy is hurtful to the Fediverse. To me it feels like EEE from the PieFed devs who clearly dislike the Lemmy devs.

Yes, you're correct! And the message I linked no longer includes this disinformation.

I don't know why you think a different philosophy the blocking system from Piefed, regardless of what you think of its impact - has anything to do with any dislike of Lemmy devs.

No, this particular feature is not related to a dislike of the Lemmy devs. I just wanted to say that I don't like this feature.

But some of the features mentioned in the linked comment are related. Sorry if that wasn't clear, I'm not a native speaker.

Only the automatic instance defederation.
