Yea I mean, I don't think anyone could actually believe that Meta is acting in good faith here, or even capable of acting in good faith in general. As much as it's exciting to think about plugging a billion new users into the Fediverse, it would no doubt be done in a way designed to enrich Meta at our expense.

That might be what I was looking for, thanks a lot!
Yea, understood. In this case I was looking for a less heavy-handed option, blocking just the communities in question rather than all the users on the instance. We're a tiny instance so we don't get too much inbound traffic, it's just me and a few other people interacting with the wider Fediverse for now. So something in between defederation and complete tolerance would be great if they add that in the future.
From a fellow instance administrator; does anyone know if it's possible to block a single community across your whole instance rather than defederating it? E.g., is it possible for me to block "HateSpeechCommunity@*" or "HateSpeechCommunity@domain.ext" as opposed to defederating all of "domain.ext"?
Specifically, we would love to ban "The_Donald@sh.itjust.works" from our instance without having to blanket ban the server, as there are some communities on this server (e.g. gaming@, etc) that we do actually want to interact with.
I'm aware that I can block the community on my own user account, but not sure if I can block just the one community from showing up on my instance altogether.
RIP Apollo :-( Reddit died for me when they killed it
