I'm not a part of this instance, but I wish mine would defederate from lemmit.online. It is definitely spam in my opinion. I've blocked the bot for now.
We'll share this post with other instance admins once there's a bit more discussion, and maybe seeing this will get the ball rolling for other instances to have similar discussions.
I'd like to know what the benefit is if your instance defederated when you've already blocked the bot. You're already not seeing the content anymore.
Honestly, not that much for me now. But it would improve the user experience for newer people joining the instance. Also if more instances defederate it may lead to the admin of that one shutting it down, or at least changing it to not be a Reddit spam bot instance.
