Their own way. If they don't control their shit, they get defederated. Such is the way. Keep your nose clean and you'll be right as rain.
But I do wonder about the possibility of two Lemmy communities, one right-wing and one left, with the right created in protest of being defederated...
Well, we can't think about that all the time, can we?
Sooooo like an anti-fediverse then? Is it possible for multiple defederated instances to federate only with each other?
A forked fediverse?
Do not want!
the Negaverse! in the most 90's cartoon villain way possible
Email servers work the same way. So far there's still one big email "community", while spamserver.ng is just pretty universally blocked. I think that's strong evidence the strategy works.
Now, a much more relevant question is how do you run your instance.
Well, a huge caveat to that is that there are world class Researchers who create constantly adapting intelligent spam filters to keep spam out of inboxes. Maybe the fediverse will have something like that someday! Who knows!
Is there an equivalent of "going dark" in lemmy? Like if there is some "global" or "fediverse" issue that communities want to protest, is there the same option as back on Reddit that they are using now?
idea: let each instance have a prepopulated blocklist
let the admins of each instance have a list of blocked users that gets inherited to members of that instance, but let users remove from that list as well as add to avoid abuse. and don't hide the comments from these users, just collapse them to let people know a comment has been hidden in case of mistakes
(possibly even allow regex to avoid RandomWord1234, which was common on reddit)
this is a rather extreme tactic though, only for if spam becomes overwhelming
