Good choice. Just like email botspam will be an ongoing issue so we will need both backend integrated as well as server operated mitigation approaches.

We appreciate your hard work. 😍
Thanks for the hard works!
What happens when somewhere like beehaw surpasses 10,000?
From the original post, it sounds like this is for instances where there's a massive influx of users but little to no posts/comments. For example, the top of the spreadsheet lists lemmy.podycust.co.uk that has >86000 users and 9 Posts/34 Comments. That honestly seems pretty suspicious to me. So I don't think Beehaw or any legitimate instance is going to caught in this.
exactly this. i didn't word it properly above, and have edited it for more clarity.
thanks!
I believe .world has, though it still shows up as linked: https://lemmy.ca/instances
However there is another thread here about .world federation issues. I tested it and .world isn't syncing here.
@smorks does the configuration or tool you are using for this reflect in the linked/blocked page or is it blocked on another level when this +10,000 user block kicks in?
*edit: tested from .ml which has more than 10,000 users and worked. However if it is by "active" user, .ml, behaw below 10,000 where .world is above.
Does this mean lemmy.ca is now defederated from lemmy.world, lemmy.ml and beehaw.org, among others? These all have more than 10,000 users.
no. sorry i wasn't clear in the post above. i meant instances with > 10,000 users from the list that @[email protected] is maintaining here:
thanks for the clarification!
good move
