Turns out finding a good lemmy instance is a huge pain in the ass. I started on lemmy.ml but it was full of tankies so I moved to lemmy.world now they banned piracy so I’m on lemm.ee which gets a lot of crap from tankies still, not as bad as lemmy.ml but it’s really fucking annoying. Like I’m not interested in Russian propaganda or how the soviet union’s genocide was justified actually, please give the user a way to block all tankies and nazies and stop blocking things globally for everyone.
Just block the ‘tankie’ communities and/or subscribe to communities you’re actually interested in instead of browsing c/all
But I like all, there’s often new stuff there I would miss otherwise. Also an excellent source of new things to subscribe to. Also blocking every community on like 3 instances would take way more effort than I want to put in. Like why not add functionality that let’s users block instances they want, why require defederation for such a simple feature.
I just block them whenever they pop up on my feed. It is annoying but they have have ~20 active communities on Lemmygrad and Hexbear each, at some point you’ll run out of places to block and they’re gone.
Yea but what if lemm.ee decides to block piracy as well? Back to square one then. Honestly I’m thinking if self hosting at this point, at least then I get to decide on the bullshittery.
