Presumably because they want to be open and if you don't like it you can block those instances?

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Can you block entire instances now? I remember hearing it was coming? Has it came?

[–] stankmut@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Both hexbear and Lemmygrad are in the list of blocked instances on that page.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Thank you for answering. I must have read that page incorrectly. Thank you so much!

And why should it ? If you notice illegal content, report it so the individual posting it can be taken care of.

You don't like it, block it

You're offended by trolling, block it

You don't like giant emojis, block it

You can't stand a leftist view on urbanism, on science, on transportation... Block it.

I, for my part, can't stand the idea of an instance becoming an even worse echo chamber as it is by severing ties with anybody who irritates an instance admin.

I am ok with an "echo chamber" that keeps these shit people out just like I am ok with an "echo chamber" that kicks neonazis to the curb. Every single "bastion of unlimited speech" has become a shit hole overrun with nazis and other human garbage.

It's like listening to a Californian moved to Texas talk. You know where Reddit is, sounds comfortable for you, and that community mysteriously doesn't let you block subs for years now, but they'll block you drop of a hat.

So… their freedom to associate with whomever they want bothers you…

Interesting.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So... me asking questions about something bothers you...

Interesting.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait… you think think someone thinking that something is ironically funny is somehow bothered?

That’s even more funny.

Holy shit man… you shouts stop and really look at what you’re asking here. Try and see the irony in it.

Then delete your post.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Simmer down and go touch grass, sweetheart.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ROFL!

YOU: “Why is America not being more like Russia in its effort to fight Russia?”

YOU, being shown your hypocrisy: “No, YOU’RE the asshole!”
