From a philosophical perspective, it is complex.
This is a a simple start on Lemmy's federation
-Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
-BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
-Open: Federate with all potential instances.
Thanks this link is great!
Thinking long term, it feels like "open" or "blacklisting" methods are not sustainable. Bad-actor servers can come along much faster than servers can coordinate blacklisting. Is there any movement towards "factionalized" communities or whitelist groups? Hoping there's not a limit on number of whitelisted instances because it could get pretty long in the future.
It's tricky. But I keep thinking that 'bad servers' bring similar issues to those of bad actors on 'good servers'....
Not sure how they might approach it - or what exactly is even available now. I should probably stand up a lemmy server just to have a poke around ๐ซฃ.
