I couldn't find any tools to check this, so I built one myself.

This is a little site I built: the Defederation Investigator defed.xyz. With it, you can get a comprehensive view of which instances have blocked yours, as well as which ones you are federated with.

The tool is open source and available on GitHub. Hopefully someone will find it useful, enjoy.

You should probably cache results so users aren’tspamming other instances

Since I was using this to write a little defederation thing on which instances find hexbear so repulsive they had to defederate I noticed the number from exploding-heads go up quite a bit from the 75 to 170 now. I will make it a point to call out two specific instances for being hilariously disgusting feddit.de aka the german federation, and feddit.dk both defederated hexbear but didn't defed the outright nazi instance exploding-heads earlier today, class act from the german and danish mod team.

Also apparently they were aware of it two months ago but didn't chose to act until today which yeah class act from the german admins. https://feddit.de/post/1151473?scrollToComments=true

There's a cheap dark joke in there somewhere about Germans and Nazis

[–] Twink@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I live in Germany and can guarantee it's not a joke. Antifa is very much needed here.

[–] notceps@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Yeah a lot of germans are full on i-voted which is incredibly bleak because the SPD is full on let's cut the education budget in half in fact we need to do so much austerity, Linke is well Linke. So yeah, I hate german libs a lot but I feel so sorry for my german comrades.

Enlightened German centrism.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 14 points 1 year ago

As far as I can see, feddit has always had exploding-heads defedded? https://fba.ryona.agency/?reverse=feddit.de

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

feddit.de blocks exploding heads.

By and large feddit.de is to the left of /r/de which was already center-left.

...but whatever fits your narrative, I guess.

Looks like the usage may have gone over Vercel's usage policy (I'm not super familiar with Vercel)? I see the following when trying to bring it up:

402: PAYMENT_REQUIRED 
Code: DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED

That's very useful, thank you @Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com

Just to note if copying the URL you have to strip off the https:// or else it won't work (maybe people just don't copy that these days, but I ran in to that problem anyway).

[–] Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Uh yeah that is true. This was a one afternoon project, so I kinda threw the frontend together without thinking too much of it. I guess truncating the protocol instead of relying on the users doing it makes sense.

Literally the first link on join-lemmy.org has a table showing all instances and it shows both how many instances that instance is blocking "and* how many other instances are blocking that instance

how many instances that instance is blocking "and* how many other instances are blocking that instance

how's that helpful if you don't know which ones

ok, it seems to be working 😆

[–] monobot@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (22 children)

even lemmynsfw defederated them, lol 🤣 why?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

For what it's worth hexbear wouldn't have federated with them anyway because the site is staunchly against hosting NSFW content.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

they are are extremely obnoxious mix of tankies and some other leftists who might have been slightly less obnoxious if they were on their own, but being in the group with said tankies, you don't want them any more than the former

i apologize for grammar structure of my sentence and hope it makes some sense

if you have few days of time to kill you can check this thread where lemm.ee admin is asking lemm.ee users about their opinion on defederating them. they brigade the thread in such a way they make more than 77% of the 2k comments in the thread (not exaggerating - the thread has 1920 comments when viewed from lemm.ee and 425 when viewed from lemmy.world which blocks them) and explain their philosophy in the process. so you will understand stuff like "who absolutely needs to be murdered for the crime of having more money than you in order to make world more just place & other tankies' wisdom".

you have to acknowledge that they did really good job of introducing themselves, though - i had no idea they even existed the day before that thread and i am firm proponent of "defederate. now." today 😆

[–] SeborrheicDermatitis@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (21 children)

I don't know why you are shocked and horrified when people engage with something on their own front page?

That's how federation works, is it not?

It's not brigading, it's literally right there at the top of the front page, so of course people will comment on it.

Is that why you haven't stopped whining about us ever since

6 instances have. Out of 1350ish.

A total of 29 users. Oh my.

[–] Spzi@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, bookmarked!

Just linking a similar tool because I haven't seen it being mentioned yet: https://fba.ryona.agency/

It's made by kiwifarms though, they even included their favorite word at the end of the page.
