Wow, the comments are really turning into a dumpster fire.
My hot take is not to block instances because you can't report what you can't see
Holy duck! Lemmy has become r/conservative.
I'm a leftie and can't stand tankies, but lemmy is becoming a really intolerant place. On reddit we were all united against u/spez no matter our other disagreements. Here, after only a few months we're talking about blocking instances and communities instead of just joining and viewing the ones that Interest us...
Perhaps it's time to let this experiment run its course.
Mate I've only been here like a week and I can promise you that most people here are left-wing
Edit: reddit was united with everyone hating each other lmao
I just want a news feed that doesnt constantly anger me and convince me to argue. I'd wanted to block TwoXChromosomes on reddit forever because I wasnt its target audience and got nothing out of it. So I'm personally enjoying actually getting some control over my echo chamber for once
Edit: Also, nuanced takes I disagree with? I dont block those. Its the batshit/extremist ones that I block, I dont feel they are really adding much to my life anyways
Honestly, on .world I never see any except for users on the actual posts, so block whatever they're blocking.
Via browser, add '/instances' to the URL of your instance. It will tell you what you can reach and what is already blocked
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
