I’m currently looking for a software to host my images and I found this table quite helpful to compare features: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/
While I agree that it is probably better to not defederate them right from the start, I believe that the Fediverse might not have that much leverage. This recent blog post about the history of XMPP describes it pretty well: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
As expected, no Google user bated an eye. In fact, none of them realised. At worst, some of their contacts became offline. That was all. But for the XMPP federation, it was like the majority of users suddenly disappeared. Even XMPP die hard fanatics, like your servitor, had to create Google accounts to keep contact with friends. Remember: for them, we were simply offline. It was our fault.
Of course it’s different because this is social media and not just 1:1 privat messages. But for us to actually have some leverage/impact we have to generate a lot of (good) content so that Threads users will actually notice and complain if that content “vanishes”. And at the same time we must not become too dependent on their content
lemmy.world is one of the biggest instances, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the server struggles from time to time. Because of how the fediverse works, switching between local, all and subscribed doesn’t make a difference. You still access the non-local content through lemmy.world because it’s cached there.
There are multiple GH issues on that topic

That’s a cool idea. Thanks for your work!
One question: Let’s say the script defederates an instance and then the admin of that instance cleans up their database and makes sure no new bots can register. Would your script remove them from the blacklist or would I have to manually check if all instances on my blacklist are still “infested” to give them a second chance?
There’s one small error in the list: The community link for Memmy points to the community for Mlem.
