I’m new to the fediverse, and so far, I have been seeing some situations from lemmy instances rejecting users to defederating from others, but I ask myself: what can be done if trolls or bots come from self-hosted single-user instances?

    They get defederated wherever they get consistently banned…and then they can federate with their friends and make their community of shit and yell at each other or something.

        Well, if we had a DDOS-like barrage of troll instances, probably a solution would be to institute a “pending federation request” for any new communities.

          This should be the default in the next Lemmy version because otherwise it’s only going to get easier for people to launch new instances and it’s going to get too overwhelming
