No idea about quokk, but for db0: from what I read here, the blocking of the tankie triad seems too be pretty effective, so in order to be able to still bother the rest of us, some were looking for alternative servers. And Db0 had the problem of being very open, so they went there. People then complained that more and more db0 users are tankies that can't discuss faithfully.
Oof. One of my community's moderators and an FV buddy is also an admin on db0. Absolutely no trace of tankie-ness detected there, as yet.
So far I just haven't needed to block any particular instance. I just have zero participation with .ML and Hexbear /c's, and that seems to work just fine. I don't see any trace of them in my curated feed. I also want to make sure that if their users happen to post / comment in my community project (and they have in the past), I want to be sure I can see them doing that.
Piefed.social is defederated with Hexbear and lemmygrad, so you aren't exposed to their content or users. Your instance is federated with .ml though.
Ah whoops, I think I remember that now. Thank you.
I also haven't experienced it myself, so I should have added that I don't support that view due to my own lack of evidence.
I think alot of users also moved to dbzer0 due to a certain Adobe software community moving there from reddit so I would assume its either a loud minority or the instance was already a dumpsterfire before it grew.
Nonetheless, if its not properly moderated or if the entire purpose and ruling of it creates the issues then it should just be defederated IMO.
