I’m considering migrating away from Lemmy.world on account of downtime and the recent blocking of piracy communities. However, I am quite fond of Lemmy.world’s other choices in defederation, e.g. nazi nonsense and CSAM.

Is there an easy method of comparing these blockings between instances to better choose where to migrate to?

    I don’t think anyone has created a resource that easily shows exactly what you are looking for - so you’re probably going to have to do your own research manually.

    If you haven’t found it yet, this github project tracks tracks most known lemmy instances and tracks some high level metrics for them. Pay attention to the “BI” (Blocked Instances) column which shows how many instances they are blocking as well as the “BB” (Blocked By) column which shows how many other instances block them. It’s worth pointing out that the “Users” column represents active monthly users and not total users.
