- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.

If you want a good one, !support@lemmy.world has an interesting thread
Aha, I finally rediscovered the source of this comment:
We are discussing the request for defederation, but the consensus is that this may not be needed, since the 0.19 Lemmy update is expected to roll out in the upcoming weeks. This update will also enable users to block whole instances, and hopefully, address a big chunk of the issue we seem to be having here.
The original seems to have been deleted. The comment did not age well, since instance blocking turned out to be more of community muting, and even what little bit it did was later rolled back, allowing the users to trigger notifications by replying to your comments and for you to see all such communications. i.e. it is not a "block" of the "instance" at all, yet apparently the merest whisper that such a block might come in the then-future caused the entire Fediverse to avoid blocking places such as lemmy.ml and hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml for over a year.

It sounds just like the effects of Elon announcing the hyperloop.
1 announce new tech that solves all the problems
2 don't give a release timeline
3 profit, due to delay
4 the people you lied to finally figure out the problem solving promises were actually lies.
I think we should call this type of scheme hyperlooping
I'm not sure if Lemmy is large enough to attract a realistic disinfo campaign, but on the other hand it's probably ingrained so deeply that it's basically habit reflex, and you never know what might pay out in the future, like perhaps the ability to maybe swing an election or two if you can encourage some people to ah... not vote maybe?
Bc according to some, bOtH sIdEs SaMe:
Feddit.ru?
It doesn’t exist yet but it would definitely plot with the triad.
