if a person thinks blocking users and communities they dont like is the way to curate their feed, i hope they block all the communities im in.
To be fair, you’re on an instance that blocks communist instances. Or do you mean defederation is better than individual blocking?

im new to lemmy, so i was yet unaware of .world instance blocking communist instances. i’ll look into that.

i think blocking is goofy, thats what i was trying to convey.

.world have been proven to subscribe people to israeli propaganda mailing list. A read about a guy who used unique email address for each subscription and he started recieving emails about israel from the one he used for .world.
I don’t doubt this, but do you have a source?
I saw the firsthand accounts of multiple people saying this happened to them. One of them was an ex mod and the other used unique address.
