The comments section absurd. Just everything from ethnonationalism to personal grievance politics. Not an optimistic take to be seen.

Is this useful to anyone? Would it win over enough libs to federate with lit.cafe?

The actual text:

This week @nutomic finished implementing the block instance feature for users. It allows users to block entire instances, so that all communities from those instances will be hidden on the frontpage. Posts or comments from users of blocked instances in other communities are unaffected.

I think that would let smaller instances that don’t wanna be overwhelmed by our posts avoid that but still let them see our comments on their posts.

Lots of ppl in the “stay with .ee/hook up with shit” thread said everything is fedi drama. They’re not wrong.

There’s a new kind of posting in the air and it’s suffused everything. It must be given space to grow without interfering with the other posts.

If we had a lemmydrama and/or a lemmydunks comm and quarantined that stuff there it would allow for avoidance of fediverse stuff and give space for lemmy drama and dunking culture to develop.

Thedunktank is for non-fediverse shit. Twitter, Facebook, etc. it should stay how it is.

It wouldn’t stop the problem of federation stealing our posting energy but it’s a start to help people who don’t want to see the new hotness lib of the week.

No subscription ones plz.

Most interested in stuff that doesn’t need a tablet or computer but if I gotta put a nexus or mba in the toolbox that’s fine
