I prefer if my instance is federated to everything and I can just block what I don’t care to see. Like lemmygrad seems to be some fascist propaganda and hexbear is the same but for people that are underage so I blocked both. Apparently I was permabanned from both without posting or commenting there so it’s not like I can interact with people there even if I wanted to.
An opossum got into our garage a few months ago and our dogs found it. They had the poor thing cornered and hissing. I got them out of the garage and after making sure they didn’t get bit, I evicted the possum.
The dogs do everything they can to get into that garage and make a beeline for that corner every time.
freed speech also applies to lemmy servers. If the server doesn’t agree with most of what’s on your server, they can and should have the option to not associate with your server at all. This honestly sounds like a shit take elon would have made.
In aggregate; 5 instances, less than 5 communities, and more than 69, nice, blocked users.
I don’t mess around. I don’t hesitate to block people who argue needlessly, make my experience less informational or less entertaining, troll, or disregard arguments made in foundational logic to push a point of view or ‘win the argument’. Similarly my instance ignores downvotes and does not display them; as with most platforms which behave similarly to reddit; they simply do not work outside of your personal, local account, local instance, user-sorting context.
My instance removed downvotes before we even launched federation. Also more instances preemptively defederated with us befor that even happened because they were scared of the evil tankies (which is funny because a bunch of us are also anarchists).
