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.
But, but! You can change
the systempeople from within by voting!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?
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.
Gotcha. Lemmy.world is defederated from Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net , so if you want a more general instance Lemmy.zip is probably more what you want. Alternatively, Lemmy.ml is federated with those two (and almost every other major instance), but is defederated from porn instances.
thanks for this info, its appreciated.
No problem!
I do and I just blocked you
a pity you will never hear my sincere congratulations
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.
what do you mean with “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!
Lol I thought I was drunk and posted this meme.
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
Wait, I’m banned from here aren’t I? Why am I even seeing this .ml community?
Probably your ban expired, .ml rarily permabans

Why am I even seeing this .ml community?
Why do butthurt whiners keep asking this rhetorical question in our communities?
If this isn’t a joke this is the most hilarious mix up I have ever seen
Edit:

I hath been cancelled!
because you have to be super banned, not just ordinary banned. lol
“You’re supposed to block us, not try to engage with us.”
That’s one hell of a take, sure.
There is currently a comment thread in this very community full of hundreds of comments worth of liberals smugly refusing and and all invitations to engage with us.
But… They said they are willing to listen, why would they be smug and ignore when they are wrong?
That isn’t what it says, try rereading it. I know it is hard to be literate.
if libs had even the barest reading comprehension then they wouldn’t be libs anymore
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?
+10 piefed social credit
There must be something in the Piefed code that makes the users just say the dumbest things, act smugly, and then say it’s a mass conspiracy that no one likes them.
And +50 goat/mwog coins
Goat is now even defending Jordan, they’re both ZioNazis. (And I’m saying this because Goat thinks Zionist is a slur made up by KKK members.)
He’s also calling it a botted campaign
Because calling anything bad out means you’re a communist, which means you’re also a Tankie funded by China, who loves hamas, or whatever he says to deflect any thinking.
This really is a good bit lol
“No u”
See, zero substance
No u.
Checkmate.
