I wish us users had the ability to block entire instances. I don't buy the argument that people are "too sensitive," nor do I buy the argument that defederation from instances that platform things like Nazis (exploding-heads, shi.itjust.works) and/or bestiality/pedophilia (burggit) is a bad thing. If we want a platform for all, then there are certain worldviews that are just not compatible with that.
Do we really want another reddit? Reddit sucked. Bad.
This has come up several times and is something I am interested in as well. It's a feature that I would be interested in tackling at some point.
Lemmy has a github, right? Would it be helpful to submit a request for this feature?
There is an issue already, feel free to add your thoughts or just thumbs up here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397
Will do, thanks 👍
They initially allowed the_donald, and they only removed the community after receiving significant backlash from other instances
I think they may also not heavily vet registrations, but perhaps you could correct me if I'm wrong about this
They platformed the community, so it is not lying to say they supported Nazis since that is literally what they did
i mean if it was one guy saying 'nazis' literally is lying
which is besides the point, because saying they platformed nazis because the single-user, non-issue community that no one even noticed except for the person that made a post calling attention to it, on an instance that allows anyone to create a community, was deleted after a day is so ridiculously misrepresentative of reality that its practically a lie anyway
