    it’s also good to keep in mind there are so many more lurkers than posters at times, myself included on different platforms, so even if people aren’t posting, it doesn’t mean that people aren’t benefitting from reading whatever is being posted

        Can we modify the list to remove the ones who have blocked us? I think that would be a good idea since having them on there might just confuse people who registered here when they try to connect to them but it doesn’t work.

          That list is generated by Lemmy. I have no control over it.

          But I do agree with you, it would be better if instances that blocked us were not listed

            Yeah it would be better I’m really not a proponent of shadow-bans as they are incredibly dishonest and often are abused, unfortunately I’ve heard that the Lemmy developers are more in favor of shadow-bans over transparency (and also that they’re hardcore lefties) so we probably won’t see that from them.

            As a work around though couldn’t we also block them so that they’re not listed in the federated section? Maybe that doesn’t really apply for general instances like lemmy.world but for things like beehaw or lemmy.blahaj.zone it might make sense since there’s almost no chance they’re going to unblock us and if they did they probably wouldn’t contribute anything useful here, just trolling and name-calling. Just a thought I had.
