Hot take: none. Let information flow free. Take it with the good and the bad. Don’t lock yourself in an echo chamber.
If you have to ask which ones, it’s obviously not enough of an issue for you to notice.
Say NO to echochambers.
All the tankies came out of the woodwork butthurt about this.
Fuck fascists, including tankies.

Yesterday I blocked politics, worldnews, and similar. Feed was becoming nasty, depressing, everyone arguing, complaining, criticizing, trolls, strawmen. Literally people saying it all sucks, nothing matters, everybody’s a liar, there is no point, why bother…
Since blocking, way better experience on lemmy.
I hate having to choose between being informed and being depressed
Removed by mod
Yeah but it’s not like I can fix any of them. I vote and occasionally donate to causes and hope that’s enough. Fuck, does it really matter if you’re informed when really there’s no direct impact you can have on the situation

Fuckin’ hilarious how quick tankies become obsessed with avoiding echo chambers when on their own communities they have a ban policy of "anything to the right of unironically calling Stalin Daddy."
To actually answer the question, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear will remove most of the redfash content, but you’ll still need to be vigilant for individual users to block. Also, blocking users doesn’t prevent them from posting on your shit, just stops you from being notified or being able to see it, AFAIK Boost doesn’t have defederation for individual users so you’d need to do that over browser.
This comment brought to you by the absolute right to curate who is in your social orbit, same as in real life ya platform obsessed whingers.

I’m downvoting you for not knowing the difference between communists and tankies.
And I’m neither.
Removed by mod
Bullshit. You’re just falling for one of them parroting phrases from the other, while taking the polar opposite actions.
Also, blocking users doesn’t prevent them from posting on your shit,
Good… On a forum based platform it’s better to not restrict people’s ability to respond to things, as it can help combat people’s ability to block those arguing with them right after making easily counterable points to prevent decent comebacks
Remember blocking on Reddit? It made it so you couldn’t reply to anything in the chain. So if someone different replied to you you wouldn’t be able to reply to them even though they aren’t who blocked you.
That was a recent change, and one for the worse. Part of the reason I’m using lemmy as well now that boost is functioning for it
It’s a nightmare for harassment though, treating all blocking as a sissy snowflake shield renders it essentially useless for circumstances where the other user is really malicious.
In that case having a system like Mastodon’s that locks them out of Replying is better than simply covering them up. We can’t really rely on Instance admins to block all malicious users or defederate from all malicious platforms so there needs to be a certain level of protection from the user’s side.
I do think that Blocking and Restricting (preventing a user from interacting) should be different functions, you block communities and users because you don’t want to see them, but you restrict users because they are hostile, malicious, or make bad-faith arguments.
Nah, your right to keep debating ends when someone else decide’s they’re not a platform for further discussion.
No longer being able to reply to the blocker, and ideally not even being able to see the blocker is the ideal, and both the blocker and the blockee should need to agree to reopen contact for the block to go down.
Like a restraining order, stops the original blocker from raising and lowering it at will as a harassment tactic.
I got banned by saying people should vote for the least fascist candidate…
In a first-past-the-post election you should vote against the most dangerous candidate (such as the most fascist or autocratic candidate) by voting for the other major party (there will generally only be two.)
This will only slow the advance of plutocratic subterfuge, so you want to get involved with efforts that include election reform to something more democratic like ranked choice.
I’m nerding again.
I would suggest some, but I’m pretty controversial and no one likes that
.ml is federated with hexbear, so I’d suggest blocking them. I find them pretty infuriating.
lemmy ml is the omni-instance, it’s federated with everything except NSFW and a few outright nazi instances which have no right to exist. That’s the main reason I set up here, I don’t want proto-fascist admins deciding what instances I’m allowed to interact with coughworldcough
At first I was against not federating with NSFW instances until I signed up for one, and WOW it’s just non stop commercial spam.
What counts as a tankie? Someone left of Social Democrats? Anyone who thinks Lenin was kinda based? Or is it people who love Mao, or Stalin? Or what exactly counts?
They’re conservatives. They demand a hierarchy where your betters are unquestionable and those below you are subservient. They promote this using the language of leftists, and the contradictions do not bother them, because words are just how you perform loyalty.
Right-wing politics are only the most blatant and fitting expression of that worldview. This tribalism is humanity’s default. Reasoned argument is a learned behavior - and some people visibly are not doing that.
Reality is a team sport, to some people. In their minds: things are good because good people do them. And their people must be good people, because who’d want to be bad people?
I haven’t seen any examples of this, though, not even from Hexbear or Lemmygrad.
That’s why I’m pretty sure there are extremely few actual Tankies, and it’s normally used to shutdown leftists that think a state is okay for a while.
I haven’t seen any examples of this, though, not even from Hexbear or Lemmygrad.
I don’t believe you.
I haven’t seen anyone “demand a hierarchy where your betters are unquestionable and those below you are subservient,” not even close.
You’ve never seen anyone defend dictatorships?
I’ve seen AnCaps defend Batista, lol. Even “defenders” of Stalin tend to agree that a lot of what he did was terrible, but will point out that even the CIA said he wasn’t a dictator.
Oh, well if the CIA said his decades of brutal autocratic power don’t count, I guess that doesn’t what the fuck are you talking about of course he was a textbook dictator.
i mean, caste systems are a thing that have existed
Sure. Haven’t seen anyone defend caste systems, especially not a self-proclaimed leftist.

I said left of Social Democrats.
Social Dems, in my experience, are generally people with hearts in the right place, but haven’t yet done any structural analysis. Essentially, they recognize that the current states with the highest standards of living are Social Democracies, and form their political and economic beliefs around replicating current “success,” without actually taking it a step further and performing historical analysis or looking at trends.
There are SocDems that are incredibly based, and those are people who support third-world countries becoming Social Democracies as a means to achieve Socialism and Communism in the long run, as they can combat Imperialism and provide more for their people as they develop.
The issues with developed Social Democracies still stem from Capitalism lasting beyond the developing phase. In Scandinavian countries, we still see brutal, awful organizations like Nestlé brutalizing developing nations, rising disparity, and declines in equity. Social Democracies are better than Neoliberal Republics like the US, but still aren’t “good.”
Removed by mod
No, that’s not at all what I’m saying. Social Democrats take their roots in Marxist philosophy, but seek reform, rather than revolutionary change. Revolutionary doesn’t inherently mean violent, but a total replacement of the state with a new one. See Rosa Luxembourg’s Reform or Revolution for information on why reform will never work.
Social Demo is not Socialism. Social Demo is a rejection of Socialism, as Socialism is simply a Mode of Production by which the Means of Production are owned in Common, not by individuals. Social Demo is Capitalism, with Social Safety nets, and has issues as I’ve elaborated on in my previous comment.
Removed by mod
In what way does it say “we haven’t tried real Communism?” Socialist states have in fact attempted to reach Communism, genuinely, and we can learn from their successes and failures along their paths.
In the real world you only have Soc Dems who are Capitalists. Soc Dem is a rejection of Socialism.

The “I won’t condemn Russias invasion just deflect to Ukrainian Nazis” and “uyghur re-education isn’t happening” is wild to see.
I’m not blocking any communities but if I were that might be the kind of things I would
Lemmygrad.ml is full of Putin appologists. Some of them are from hexabear.
The oh yeah, what about Minsk Agreements that Ukraine broke?! is also a wild ride on misinfo as well. Russia agreed to pull out forces out of Ukraine borders. Guess how it went.
Don’t know how accurate this is, but I’ve always thought they were hard left authoritarians
That’s the general idea, but usually I’ve seen it more as a slur even for regular leftists as a way to disengage with them.
Tankies are people that defend or deny the shitty things done by ML states. People can appreciate some of Lenin’s ideas, but not defend the states inspired by his ideology. The Bolsheviks under Lenin set the groundwork for Stalin’s reign, with many of Stalin’s terrible practices being inspired by things Lenin did. Lenin crushed opposition and centralized power while he was in charge, with Stalin doing what Lenin demonstrated to be acceptable behavior for their movement. When you reject the results of democratic processes to gain power, don’t be surprised when your successor does the same. One can agree with many of Lenin’s ideas, so long as they recognize the weaknesses.
I wish we had more people like you on the left
I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion in the slightest among leftists. The general underlying principles remains the same, the only thing that changes is people’s depth of understanding of the subject matter.
Similarly, I don’t think there are many people that defend the undeniably bad things done by ML states, just like there aren’t many liberals who’d defend American Slavery or the Trail of Tears.
People who I see called tankie most often are MLs who defend the non-shitty things done by the USSR, such as guaranteed housing, free Healthcare, and free education, and assume they also are therefore defending things like the Katyn Massacre or Moscow Trials.
I’m not an ML, but that’s why I asked the question, more aimed at OP than anyone else.
There are plenty of people that defend or deny the crimes of ML states. The MLs who don’t defend or deny the crimes of ML states usually don’t stay MLs. A big part of the entire ideology is not disagreeing with the party line in public. Democratic Centralism necessitates that you don’t disparage what the party internally decides on. The attitude of most western MLs is one of not letting their team look weak, which usually leads to denying, defending, or using whataboutisms to downplay the bad things done by those states.
I acknowledge the terrible shit done by America and the Democratic party, but I still insist Americans should vote for Democrats over Republicans in elections. This is because people need to make the most out of the system and situation they have to work with. I don’t think of Chinese citizens as tankies for supporting the CCP or Soviet citizens who worked within the confines of their government. That’s the system they had or have, so they do what they have to do. This isn’t the case with western MLs; not legally at least.
Western ML communities are basically cults that isolate you from outside friends or allies, encouraging you to push away those that question the ideology. You are free to leave, but through cultish tactics, they do everything they can to keep you in. If an ML acknowledges the crimes of ML states and the fundamental weaknesses in the ideology, tankie MLs will marginalize them from the group, coercing them to become tankies or leave. The non tankie MLs get driven away, or become tankies. It isn’t a stable state, as they will always fall one way or the other.
The ones justifying genocides and wars from dictators.
You can be extreme left and still not be a tankie.
I might be too new, but I haven’t actually seen much of that at all. The farthest I’ve seen is adding context to events like collectivization in the USSR, which you can point out and still disagree with it, but prove that it’s misrepresented in American News sources.
I’m not a Marxist-Leninist, but I think one of the most eye-opening things to learn is just how much propaganda is used by every country. Learning from other points of views, assuming historically accurate and verified, helps combat the notion that any states are good.
I assumed once one got extreme enough left they were anti-hierarchical and bound to principle
It’s difficult to be that and tankie at the same time.
I’m but a poli-sci amateur so I may be talking out my ass.
Leftism isn’t inherently anti-hierachy. Rather, different leftists take issue with different types of hierarchy. Marxists tend to hate class hierarchy, Marxist-Leninists tend to believe it to be a useful tool in developing to a stage where Socialism is possible, and Anarchists tend to think that all hierarchy is unjust, preferring mutualism.
Then there are Left-Comms, who, depending on country, either love Marx and Lenin but reject Marxism-Leninism, or reject Lenin and purely love Marx. They tend to prefer Council Communism rather than Vanguardist Marxism-Leninism, as they believe councils are justifiable as they are democratically participated in but reject Vanguardism.
you can be social democrat left, you can be anarchist left, hell you can even be communalist hivemind left!
Anyone who isn’t a state-department approved soCIAlist is a
filthy subhumanI mean “tankie” according to lemmy.worldYou can easily advocate for the overthrow of the government without defending terrible shit. This sort of argument stinks like the people who claim critical support for Hamas. The idea that you must stand one genocidal team is bullshit. You can take a principled position.
Tankies are people who fill a jug with piss and empty it into a pickup drivers gas tank
Damn, sounds based
How to block instances (and not communities)?
Depends on what you are using. On the phone in boost there is an option for it in the settings
Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml will filter out most of it. Anti.social will flood your feed with furry porn, so unless that’s your thing, I’d do them as well.
that bans 2/3 of lemmy content. you can just not engage
Not even remotely close to 2/3, and it’s the whiney and annoying chunk anyway. I don’t want to “not engage”, I want them out of my feed.
Same, its just garbage and a shit load of snowflakes that break with the smallest difference in opinion or jokes that don’t fit with their political opinion.
It’s not, but even if it was that would mean 2/3ds of lemmy is full of licking authoritarian boots and genocide denial, so I’m fine with not seeing that.
seconded. lemmy.ml has afaik the biggest interesing communities for FOSS, privacy, Memes, etc.
FOSS, privacy, Memes, etc.
Aka whining about YouTube ads, paranoia, and communist whingeing thinly veiled as humour.
No big loss.
You really love the bomb, do you?
You could have stayed on reddit, but here we are.
Don’t antagonize them, any excuse to get off of reddit is a good one.
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about dot jpeg
Lemmy.ml is somewhat more neutral. In Lemmygrad you can sometimes have a discussion, but you will probably be downvoted. Hexbear is just toxic, it’s like Lemmygrad but for 14 year olds.
They’re all radioactive shitholes. There is no “lesser evil”, it’s all hypocrisy and willful ignorance in those circles.
Lemmy.ml has several solid communities, including the largest AskLemmy community. Their top 20 largest communities are all pretty mainstream and don’t really see the kind of posts/comments that make people wary of Lemmygrad or Hexbear.
Lemmygrad and Lemmyml are run by the same insane people…
Yes indeed but despite their more extreme beliefs compared to the average lemmings, they are quite lenient and accepting with lemmy.ml. I wouldn’t call the devs insane, solely for the fact that they gladly welcomed all the Reddit immigrants despite that they get numerous hate posts about their ideology.
Just to clarify, I’m just a normal libcenter guy, not an extremist.
My multiple bans would suggest otherwise, you either get downvoted or banned. They really don’t like it when people actually agree with you.
They don’t like it when people actually agree with you
Can you tell me an example? I find no reason hating someone if they agree with you.
I mean, if you make a comment arguing against their weird commie POV and it actually gets traction, they don’t like it one bit.
That wouldn’t have anything to do with you being an obnoxious dink, would it?
Huh, didn’t know that. Lemmyml seemed totally fine though?
If you want to see the face of a instance, look in the modlog.
But most of the moderation is done by community moderators, not admin. So it isn’t necessarily the face of the instance but the face of each individual community.
However, if the moderator doesn’t assign their username to the moderation action, then you can’t really tell who’s done it. It just says “mod”, but it could be a community moderator, or it could be an admin. I can understand a mod not wanting to publish their username with the action, but it should still at least tell you what capacity they were acting under. Generally, I think instance admin are more sensible (with the exception of hexbear).
Also, when you load the instance modlog you’ll end up seeing moderation from every other instance, and it doesn’t even tell you which community it refers to most of the time.
The open modlog is amazing, however the only trouble is it’s often impossible to tell who is doing the moderation. It could be the community mods, it could be the admin. I can understand not wanting to show the specific user that performed moderation, but I think it should at least tell you what capacity the moderator was working under.
Admin have ultimate control over their instance. However, they should try to set reasonable expectations for users, as otherwise users will leave. Admin tend to be sensible, with the prime exception being hexbear.
Community mods have free reign over the community, but must act within the rules of the instance. Thus, if the rules of the instance allow it, then a community mod may have every right to ban you for any reason they like - even if you broke no community rules. The idea being: if users don’t like the moderation they can easily set up their own, competing community (just like how reddit was supposed to work, eg how r/anime_titties was created for news because r/worldnews moderation was crap).
I’m sure there are dodgy mods on lemmy.ml, but I’m not aware of the admin performing bad moderation.
As of a few months ago, lemmygrad is run by them as well. I don’t remember the specifics, but there was talk of some form of taking over every other Lemmy instance as well (I know there were calls for it from at least one of the tankie communities, either lemmygrad or hexbear), and the general hostility of both lemmygrad and hexbear users was why many instances defederated from them at that time.
Well, I’ve never come across anything that made me notice, which is certainly a good thing.
I’ve had multiple bans from Lemmy.ml, they are anything but neutral. The best way to cop a ban is to make a comment arguing with their point of view that people actually agree with, they hate that.
They’re also some of the most insufferable people on the Internet.
Were they bans from lemmy.ml, or from specific communities within lemmy.ml? I’ve only had a ban from [email protected]
Edit: Actually maybe it was for the whole instance lol, not sure, I hadn’t noticed I was banned for 2 weeks anyway.
Edit2: Seems it was just the one community, I was commenting on other lemmy.ml communities just fine. However the modlog doesn’t say which community I was banned from. Generally, the modlog should contain more information.
I’ve had both an account suspended, and a ban from presumably the whole instance. I didn’t care enough to investigate further.
Looks like you have a year ban at POLICE PROBLEM then a 5 day instance ban on another account. Although, I’m not sure it is an instance ban, I had a similar one that had no community in the modlog but I was still able to comment on other lemmy.ml communities (this could have been a federation bug).
Multiple accounts have had a bunch of removed comments under “Rule 1” and “Rule 2” bans (which are kind of bullshit as they don’t actually reference which set of rules, the modlog doesn’t say which community it was removed from and also most rules are just bullet points and not numbered). Typically these are either bigotry or “Be civil/respsectful”, which way around they are depends on which set of rules. The former is often misused all over lemmy, but the latter can cover any hostile comment.
Currently you have a ~2 month long ban from .ml’s World News, but that does seem to me a problem community from what I’ve been seeing.
This one was funny:
2 months ago - mod - Banned @Ilovethebomb from the community [email protected]
reason: PUNISHMENT TIME BITCH!
2 months ago - mod - Unbanned @Ilovethebomb from the community [email protected]
2 months ago - mod - Banned @Ilovethebomb from the community [email protected]
reason: liberal
I can just imagine the look on the mod’s face when they realised their reason would be published to the modlog, trying to go back and change it only for it all to be set in stone. What’s interesting is they didn’t remove any comments.
That is actually quite funny. I should go and wind up Lemmygrad then, I thought I was banned from the instance.
No it isn’t.
Lemmy.ml is run by the same group of people that run lemmygrad. They took over the domain a couple of months ago. Since then, Lemmy.ml has turned into a tankie paradise.
Moreover, Lemmy.ml will apply inconsistent moderation without ever informing you what happened. I was having posts removed, no one was telling me anything, and then suddenly I was banned for two weeks. I tried reaching out for help to get clarity and there was zero response.
Lemmy.ml is a dumpster fire that should be avoided at all possible costs unless you want to deal with reddit style moderation and behavior combined with the toxicity of lemmygrad and hexbear.
Theyre run and populated by the exact same people, bud
They are a little bit more mask on than mask off, but they are just as hardcore tankie because its literally the same people
NO??? ml was the first general purpose instance and so had the most amount of users at the beginning, meaning a lot of normal communities developed there
Don’t confuse the newbie who just got out of his Reddit bubble, he’s scared and alone
Oh good! Let’s trot out the condescension!
Your sense of entitled elitism does not redound to the quality of your character.
Right, keep pretending the admins arent the same. Blame reddit for your confusion over 2 servers being owned by the same people.
Surely you will look clever, and smart. No one will find you out
there’s a lot of paranoia about some of the least threatening people I’ve ever encountered
What does any of what was said have to do with the same people owning two different servers…
If being a tankie means thinking critically, addressing concerns in a topic of debate, and not generalizing strangers into groups (go figure coming from the ML defender squad 7 over here) then sign me up.
You couldn’t even bother to address the point you had to result to NAME CALLING just to feel intellectually superior.
Low bar, par for the course.
Okay, liberal.
Thank you for literally proving my point for me.
Genuine question, is that like supposed to be a legit insult or more ironic?
If you go to very leftist areas of the internet (socialist or communist areas, anywhere from anarchistic (bottom left) to authoritarian (top left)) you’ll see people using liberalism by its political science definition, rather than the definition its taken on within American culture. It stems from the idea of capital moving freely (that is, liberally) without restrictions. You’ll also see it referred to as neoliberalism in the same spaces.
Full disclosure, I myself am pretty extremely socially libertarian (arguably borderline anarchistic), and have used liberal derogatively myself.
They definitely see it as an insult. Check the comment history and you’ll see there is no attempt at irony. Just an angry poster who’s fallen too deep into it.
I’m sorry, I’m confused. You said Lemmy.ml is run by the same people as Lemmygrad.ml but if you click either of those links, you can see the admin list. Not one user is the same. Do they have different accounts, or what? Do you have some kind of citation for this?
“ml” in both of these cases is supposed to mean “marxist-leninist”, always has been.
the difference is lemmy.ml is not a politics-focused instance
Lemmy.ml is run and was started by the developers of Lemmy. The developers themselves align with lemmygrad, however they try to keep their politics out of lemmy.ml for the most part. It’s debateable how effective they are with this, it probably ebbs and flows somewhat.
Moderation without informing you is common across all lemmy instances. Moderators have to go out of their way to notify you, there are no automated messages to go along with moderator action. However, lemmy has always had an open modlog, so you can see why you were moderated if you look it up. Note: sometimes I’ve had difficulty loading the modlog, particularly the instance modlog (where an overall instance ban would be), though community modlogs tend to load fine.
Also, you should bear in mind the difference between instance admin and community moderators - a community moderator is allowed to run their community as they see fit, within the rules of the instance (like reddit was supposed to be). If a moderator wants to ban you, they may have every right to per the instance rules, even if they have no good justification or you didn’t break any rules.
Certainly, the hexbear admin are just as bad as the hexbear moderators, and will throw bans around for dubious reasons while protecting their own committing the same offence. Lemmygrad moderators seem a little less eager to ban, but they’re still looking for any excuse. I haven’t had any encounters with lemmy.ml moderation though, but I wouldn’t consider the place a dumpster fire - that title firmly belongs to hexbear.
One good reason to keep lemmy.ml is simply to keep up with lemmy back-end development.
the modlogs are public, anyone can just go on hexbear, plug in your name and see why you got banned:
here’s one of your removed comments:
mod Removed Comment Actually Palestinians started the violence. They fought a war, they lost. That doesn’t excuse anything Israel has done, but credit where credit is due.

the reason you were site banned was because you were having a meltdown over getting a comm ban for your genocide apologia (lmao)

People finding out that their history of being an asshole is public information will never not be funny
Be specific, which part of that was me being an asshole?
This, nonchalantly being a prick
Lol you think I hadn’t already checked that during this discussion? I don’t need to go to hexbear to see it, lemm.ee is still federated so it shows up in my local modlog. What’s weird is that my ban on lemmy.ml doesn’t for some reason, it looks like a bug where it didn’t federate through properly - the comments shown as removed on the lemmy.ml modlog are still there on lemm.ee.
here’s one of your removed comments:
mod Removed Comment Actually Palestinians started the violence. They fought a war, they lost. That doesn’t excuse anything Israel has done, but credit where credit is due.

So what exactly in that is genocide apologia? Just because I’m criticising Palestinian attacks gone past does not mean I support Israel’s response in any way. The comment literally finishes with me criticising both sides - ie, implying that all genocide is wrong.
the reason you were site banned was because you were having a meltdown over getting a comm ban for your genocide apologia (lmao)
It wasn’t a meltdown, the message I sent was very tame - sarcastically thanking him for getting me banned. Feel free to dig it up, it was posted on Chapo. You’d struggle to call it “malding” - but then, that’s what you’re all about isn’t it? Slapping a bullshit label that really doesn’t fit, then arguing against that label. It’s a form of scarecrow argument, one that is completely transparent when you actually look at it.
I don’t care about your justification for both siding an ongoing genocide
I didn’t “both side” the genocide - that would be saying that both sides are justified in committing genocide. I’m saying anyone who commits genocide is wrong. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of people caught up in the middle of it all. You would apparently dehumanise one portion of these people, because you value the other portion more. That is reprehensible.
In any case, we’re not talking about my justification, we’re talking about hexbear moderators’ justification - of which there apparently is none. Thus, my point stands: hexbear is a dumpster fire; and that implies that hexbear devotees are trashy.
THAT makes sense why ani.social defederated from Lemmy.ml (I only subscribed to the anime instance since it had the largest user base)
Edit: the “.ml” anime instance is still the largest compared to everyone else. What a shame that we can’t move away from it
This was their side of the story: https://ani.social/comment/2199318
Lemmy.ml defederated from ani.social, pretty sure cuz the borderline pedo bait
Yep. Explicitly because of CSAM
Gonna have to be that guy again, but underage cartoon porn is not CSAM. CSAM as a term was invented to help law enforcement focus their limited resources on actual child victims. Underage cartoons are still child pornography, and still wrong and illegal, but CSAM is something else and deserves more immediate action.
There’s no point in having technical terminology if it isn’t used correctly :o)
Good point. Lemmy.ml admins said CSAM was the reason so just passing that along.
And attempt to engage in secondary unused communities? A lot of the most active communities are on it, you are just asking for your home page to be either very filtered or a wasteland.
I don’t think [email protected] is that toxic, or [email protected], or [email protected]
I always have my home to “Subscribed”, I see nothing really bothering me
Given the admin that is in control of all of those, and admin who have proven that they love to micromanage and moderate individual communities, then yes. Yes it is that toxic.
[email protected] is just as active
then subbing to ml as well will give you twice the activity
wdym by
They took over the domain a couple of months ago. ?
wasn’t ml started by Dessalines/nutomic??
Add ani.social too IMO.
Via browser, add ‘/instances’ to the URL of your instance. It will tell you what you can reach and what is already blocked
You as a user cant block instances on lemmy itself right now
I know that, I am just saying its mostly not necessary as most of the work has been done for you
Not on instances that just don’t block anything.
Of course, but since OP has sent it from blahaj.zone it on its own blocks some common ones.
Shure but sometimes you need to block more for your own sake.
Lemmy.world, Hexbear…
Also possible on Connect
Lemmy.world??
Yes
By removing lemmy.world you remove half of Lemmy’s content. Bad idea
Most of it is trash and Lemmy.world becomes a walled garden.

Yep sounds like a total not-idiot to me!
Exactly. Its basically the reddit of lemmy, and the admins are assholes.
I haven’t heard of the lemmy.world admins doing much besides defederating from a few instances. Why do you feel that way about them?
I have my reasons.
And they are worse than reddit mods with their behavior. They usually use dummy accounts.
Just look into the modlog for a while.
Also they are antisemitic and have no fucking knowledge about how lemmy works, thinking they can IP ban users from other instances and similar things like harassing other instance admins and users with several accounts.
I have a personal problem with these assholes.
We are antisematic? We harass other instance admins? IP bans don’t even make sense on Lemmy due to federation and you can not get the IP of posters on another instance.
You are so full of it. We are in good contact with most if not all instances and their admins.
The only truthful thing you said is that it is personal.
I permabanned your account on Lemmy World so you don’t have to get triggered anymore by the ‘shit admins’.
Edit: this account is an alt of
. Moderator over at Loli/pedo instance burggit.moe which is why he didn’t want to give me his main account when asked.
He just admitted it is personal in his reply below. None of the things he mentions here are factual. We are in good contact with the admins on most if not all instances. Even some of those we defederated with.
What other account?
the admins defedded from hex without letting their users having their own choice. I mean can’t they refederate now and let users just block instances they choose? Hexbear gives that choice. People defederate from them, not the other way around.
You guys defederating from Lemmy.nz in a fit though, not the other way around.
Defederating hexbear is likely a legal thing as they spread antisemitism to a extent that its illegal in most countries.
I have only seen hexbear explicitly condemn anti semitism and do not consider jewishness to be any factor in the current conflict
their position is that zionism is a far right ideology created by fascists to justify the construction of a colonial state, not for any true need of jews. Zionism is not Jewish, it is using jews to perpetuate settler colonialism.
I have no problem with Tankie takes on Israel. They see this side clearly. My problem is when your favorite youtubers and twitter lefties are saying “Hamas is good actually, and Israeli Settlers deserve it” like for fucks sake. Tankies call for violence more than they call for leftist solutions.
And thats obviously wrong. There are a fuck load of hexbears being very clear about their wish for Israels destruction…

I think they will block cappie instances in return 🤣
