It has weather accounts for, what seems like, every single city in the US and the microblog feed is absolutely spammed by it. It doesn’t seem like fedia supports blocking other instances, only accounts, but I don’t want to have to manually block every single account from that instance.

Please defederate from it. It doubtful that it adds any value.

    I would love to have that spammy us.fedimeteo.com instance to be defederated from, as they aren’t good Fediverse Citizens. The volume of spam instances is just to fucking high. As I am not a moderator, it doesn’t seem like there is a user facing way to block the domain. The great thing about Lemmy is that users can easily block instances with a few clicks. Fedia needs a user facing domain block, even Mastodon has it.

    Yeah, I spent probably an hour manually (with some help from a script) blocking all those accounts when their weather spam first started taking over the feed last year. Having such a huge block list that’s frequently getting used probably doesn’t help with the server load situation.

    An option to block the whole domain would be much more convenient.

    @kbal @LostWanderer it looks like we’re defederated from them now! Thank you @jerry!
