This post is on lemmy.ml, an instance whose owner decided to continue federating with lemmygrad.ml for... reasons. Go visit lemmygrad.ml and you'll understand why.

I really wish Lemmy supported defederation of instances by individual users (so I'd auto-block anything that came from lemmygrad or its users for any reason). I have been threatened with death by communists enough and just want to be left alone to my far-left-but-not-communist devices.

Meanwhile, you can use an instance that has them defederated.

I'd love that, but as I said elsewhere I have communities I run and a post history. Are we talking about me just making myself a mod elsewhere and cutting all my post histories? I mean, it's not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to keep my post histories coherent.

Instrance transfer would be wonderful.
