im new to lemmy, so i was yet unaware of .world instance blocking communist instances. i'll look into that.

i think blocking is goofy, thats what i was trying to convey.

Gotcha. Lemmy.world is defederated from Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net , so if you want a more general instance Lemmy.zip is probably more what you want. Alternatively, Lemmy.ml is federated with those two (and almost every other major instance), but is defederated from porn instances.

.world have been proven to subscribe people to israeli propaganda mailing list. A read about a guy who used unique email address for each subscription and he started recieving emails about israel from the one he used for .world.

I don't doubt this, but do you have a source?

I saw the firsthand accounts of multiple people saying this happened to them. One of them was an ex mod and the other used unique address.
