I don't think Stockholm actually has any fighter jets... so naturally it's easy for them to promise!

the shitpost level in this is glorious, but... maybe someone should start linuxmemes community for these no-content posts?
Copyright needs reforms, it's broken as fuck.
The music and film industry have been exploiting this for decades and changing the entire model to a system where artists don't hold copyrights or get compensated for their work, content or (soon) bodies. Art does not enter the public domain anymore. Greed is all there is.
Burn it all down.
It's a hard problem though - those are three different communities on tree different instances after all. The topic is "valid" for each of them and the local population of the instance, so it's not like the servers can refuse the submission.
Doing filtering on the client would maybe be an option, but how would the client know which one of those three communities is the "main" and which other two should be filtered away.
The easiest would be to unsubscribe from two of them. Or even better, if people could stop cross-posting.
But we know people aren't going to stop.
Finally someone who has a clue. That was well written and easy to understand. Thank you for all the work you put into that post!
Defederation is about what an instance allows in, not what an instance allows out. Defederation stops you seeing the defederated instance's content, but it does not stop them seeing your instance's content.
As a final, tiny little point of interest - there is a setting called AUTHORIZED_FETCH (Secure mode) which will force the requesting instance to authenticate. This can be used to stop the data from flowing out.
Of course enabling this is somewhat problematic as it tends to break other things. But it's there.
As an added bonus, you can also use the https://kbin.social/d/[instance domain here] scheme to block entire domains, if you find that they include content you don't want to see in your feed.
Once, many moons ago, a group of devs at my old work got deny on internal zone-to-zone Firewall open request that they needed for integration between two internal systems, so they ended up making a script that e-mailed the info to a hotmail.com (SMTP was open) account and then wrote a script to login and screenscrape the mail info from hotmail back to the other server (https was open through surf proxy).
Dev as in ”Company doing the development”. Not the company that does the publishing. Not the developer who writes code. Represented by the company CEO
