My experience on lemmy is vastly improved after blocking lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, hexbear, beehaw, and pawb. Wiped out vast swathes of degenerates from my feed.

Sure, occasionally poking them with a stick can be funny, but if you don’t like your scrolling punctuated with muttering “oh fuck off” under your breath every few minutes – it’s nice.

Gullible ,

Beehaw? I’ve had nothing but good interactions with them, personally.

archonet ,

I can’t remember why I blocked them exactly, to be honest, but I remember thinking they were almost as annoying as hexbear users, and I can’t be bothered to go have a second look now to see exactly why. Clearly, I was annoyed with them enough to block them, as the ones I listed above are the only instances I have blocked save for lemmynsfw (which is just because I don’t care for porn in my feed).

DoctorButts ,

Beehaw's primary identity as an instance is "to be nice to people" which you know what, that's fine, but personally I think it's super annoying lol. Also there are some users from that instance who were also outspoken and especially annoying but I don't see them commenting as much these days.

YourPrivatHater ,

Most instances that are “nice to people” have the tendency to not allow most opinions and their admins are prone to powertripp. I think their instance basically shut down due to funding, thats the last info i had.

IDew OP ,

I did saw something controversial (apparently) on grad and simply asked what I said wrong and having an open mind showed that they can interact normally… But Hexbear is just straight up poisoning me lol

Valmond ,

Beehaw? The most adorable place in the lemmy space IMO!

If you don’t like them fine, but please reconsider lumpung them together with the crazy fascist ones please 😊

??? (Mostly) Nothing wrong with Beehaw or pawb.social, most are good people around those parts

archonet , (edited )

now I might not remember why I blocked beehaw but I know damn well the animal fetishists are not “good people”, thank you

and just from your instance name… yeah that’s another one for the list

taiyang ,

I don’t know, yiffit folks seem very nice. Not always safe for work, though.

I think my instance already bans beehaw, though. I forget why, unfortunately.

TheFriendlyDickhead ,

Didn’t beehaw defederate from lemmy.world a year ago because they felt it had a bad influence on itself? Mb not theexact reason’ but something like that scratches my mind

sparkle ,

Animal fetishists?! You mean… furries?

PugJesus ,

I think we have a relict from the mid-2000s in our midst, back when half the internet was in open war with furries.

archonet ,

I know, it must be hard for kids to understand a time before they were born, but don’t worry, someday you’ll be explaining the facts of life to youngsters yourself.

PugJesus ,

Man, I was in the trenches of online forums at the time. I was PART of those times. I just eventually grew up past being an edgy preteen.

archonet ,

so just to recap, you gained a newfound appreciation for animal fetishists, and you… think that’s a sign of maturity and growth?

okay then. I’ll just leave you to it then, champ, you have fun with that <3

PugJesus ,

Lord.

archonet ,

yes, that’s what I said. animal fetishists, furries, dogfuckers, etc. You got a problem with your reading comprehension?

sparkle ,
  1. You read text, you don’t listen to it
  2. You must have come from 10 years ago because nobody has opinions as cringe and childish as “furries bad zoophiles” anymore

  2. okay, just one question: do furries/does furry porn sexualize animals, yes or no? No mental gymnastics allowed, one word answer.

if yes, congratulations, I’ve just proven my point, better luck next time, sport

if you think not, lol. Furthermore, lmao.

sparkle , (edited )

one word answer

Nah that’s not how the world works buddy. Only children think in binaries.

okay, just one question: do furries/does furry porn sexualize animals, yes or no? No mental gymnastics allowed, one word answer.

You asked two questions and tell me to give you one answer. Nice try senator.

Also a majority of things require answers more complex than a simple “yes” or “no”, because the world isn’t the simple land that it seems to be in your head. However, luckily for you, these questions do have relatively simple yes-or-no answers.

To your first question: No, furries don’t by default sexualize animals. It’s weird that you even come to the conclusion that they do.

To your second question: Also no. You can argue that furry art is usually depictions of animals, and that furry porn sexualizes those depictions, but even that’s pretty shaky because anthropromorphized beings that have a vague resemblance to animals are hard to argue as being similar enough to the real thing that it’s “sexualizing (a depiction of) [animal]”. I wouldn’t call you out on saying that furry drawings are depictions of animals, even though I think that’s flawed logic, but it’s not even remotely similar to “sexualizing animals” (e.g. zoophilia)

Unluckily for you, my friend, I took a screenshot when you posted that since I had a feeling you would edit your mistake out. You may be playing chess in 4 dimensions, but I’m playing chess in 7 dimensions. Get pranked lol

archonet ,

Goodness, that’s an awful lot of words, champ! In fact, I think that’s more than one – and seems to have lots of mental gymnastics to boot, from what I skimmed – silly, don’t you know how to read directions? Here, let me help you out.

Now, you go and have a little reading time, I’m gonna give you a break from my inbox. Come back when you’ve learned to count to one, and try again.

sparkle ,

Clearly your reading comprehension is kaputt because I gave simple “no” answers for your “question”. It’s even bolded for your viewing pleasure. Shan’t you appreciate my immaculate formatting?

YourPrivatHater ,

Gladly most of them blocked us(ani.social), i only blocked Lemmy.world and Midwest.social one for spam and one because seahorse is a powertripping asshole.

sparkle ,

Wow, your reasoning is uh… well it sure is interesting… can’t say I see where you’re coming from. lemmy.world is like the most conservative instance I can think of

conditional_soup ,

I’ve been there, but I mostly just do it anyway. Fuck it, I said what I said. Half the time you don’t even get anything all that cutting, it’s just png salad. Every now and then, you’ll get a coherent response that isn’t a death threat, and those end up being good reads more often than not.

IDew OP ,

Yeah I don’t think much of it either… They just take offense to something doesn’t even apply to them lol

hemko , (edited )

Eh, more often than not their longer posts are just “actually Stalin/Putin/Mao/Kim dynasty/Trump good because <5 page essay>”

Edit: also the classic “comparing Stalin to Hitler is a form of Holocaust denial” and in the same breath calling everyone not in their vatnik bubble a nazi or fascist lmao

PugJesus ,

Ah, I see you said something controversial, like “Theocracy bad” or “Imperialist capitalist state bad”. The tankies don’t like those positions for some reason.

Ilovethebomb ,

We should just defederate all the ml domains, it would greatly improve the Lemmy experience.

sparkle ,

Defederate them for having a different political worldview? Defederation is supposed to be for extreme circumstances. There’s not a problem that .ml communities cause of people breaking the rules here. I’m not saying there aren’t toxic people from lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml, there definitely are, but there’s nothing to justify defederation.

If instances just start defederating other instances for hosting a lot of communists then the platform’s gonna fall apart lol.

You can block instances if you don’t like them. You don’t have to decide what the best experience for all us other lemm.ee users is.

I’ve never been able to figure out the basic ideas behind their opinions. It’s something like US conservatives, where it’s something stupider than you can even guess at, but less predictable.
