On a tangent, is it possible to block/ignore lemmygrad and it's users? They are obviously trolling here with good old whataboutism and russo talking points
Edit: corrected the stupid spelling of this stupid place
Heads up, I can assure you the Lemmygrad and Hexbear folks are not trolling. They are legitimate believers of Chinese/Russian/North Korean talking points, and some of them even live there
Welcome to the federated Internet
So real fascists taking over the biggest lemmy instance then?
Don't know what to think about Lemmy right now tbh. Most of the content is quite based, awesome, fresh memes, and especially the programming stuff js top notch.
But the amount of russo shit and antisemitism is on another level...
One reason why lemm.ee might not be the best newbie instance, most others have lemmygrad and hexbear defederated (read: blocked). You can block them yourself in your profile settings, or you can move to a different instance.
lemm.ee works for me because I like getting into arguments but if you don't enjoy that I would recommend basically any other instance.
That depends on who your instance is federated with. Personally I have never seen any posts from them.
I think you can easily block their instances, but sure it's not the best starting point for new users.
Lemmy.ca is a nice instance if you are looking for one that blocks those instances. The fascists were here before people from reddit started moving over, but as people started coming over that aspect started getting diluted. Now you just have to choose an instance that doesn't federate with them.
Real fascists? My dear god you're in a post that straight up wants a "make europe great again" and its us that are opposed "the real fascists"?
Europe has unconditionally supported the ethnical cleansing of Palestinians and parrots Herzlian talking points but we are the anti-semites?
It's everyone right to have an opinion, regardless of what their political affiliation is, as long as it doesn't devolve into extremism.
They tend to smother level-headed discussions with their propaganda though. Sadly this is not how the internet works, and certainly seems to be a problem in Lemmy
Indeed and what I also love about federation is it is also within your rights to not give people a platform or be forced to listen to them. If people don't like what they have to say then they will still be able to shout but only into the void and echo chambers.
