    They don’t block .ml so they can spam “you’re on .ml lol everyone you’re talking to is an idiot/tankie/Sino-Russian bot” unprompted to anyone else who actually tries to engage in debate here. Acting like an edgelord with low effort dunks presumably also with a saviour complex of “guiding people who stumbled into the tankie zone back to the Western-liberal light” takes priority over actually blocking the people they hate and keep threatening to block.

    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.

      That’s exactly how I curate my feed. Do you have any idea how many sports sublemmies my instance has? It’s the Midwest. It was a lot.

        thats an interesting example and i do appreciate it.

        but unless you regularly block users bc you dont like what they said, then i didnt really mean you :) i could have been more clear with my original comment that i exclusively meant both those things, but i didnt think to at the time.

          What’s wrong with blockers users when you don’t like what they say? If someone is spewing slurs you bet I’m blocking them. I don’t need that in my life.

      To be fair, you’re on an instance that blocks communist instances. Or do you mean defederation is better than individual blocking?

    People have this weird dislike of the block button and anyone that uses it. I use it very frequently on any social media site I use in order to have a better experience. It was one of my bigger problems with Reddit cause it had an extremely low block limit.

        The amount of users you can block was really low. From what I’ve looked up it’s 1000 which is basically nothing. When I was using Twitter I had over 20k accounts blocked to better curate my experience.

          How much time does it take to accumulate 20k blocked accounts?! That’s almost 20 a day every single day for 3 years Go touch some grass!

    Big brain meme template:

    Regular brain -> curating feed by subbing to comms and browse based on my subbed community Big brain -> curating feed by browsing all and block the community I don’t like Galaxy brain -> curating feed by browsing all and getting banned from communities

    “You’re supposed to block us, not try to engage with us.”

    That’s one hell of a take, sure.

    GOING ON A SELF-RIGHTEOUS COMMENT SPREE WITH ZERO SUBSTANCE, GETTING BANNED, AND
    THEN CRYING ABOUT IT.

    I thought getting banned for this reason is why .ml hates .world though?
