Yesterday, lemmy.blahaj.zone announced their defederation from lemmynsfw.com and argued that lemmynsfw don’t care enough about CSAM.

Although I think lemmynsfw is right about this, that’s not the point. I believe lemmy.blahaj.zone is an instance caught in the positivity echo chamber (to put it more roughly, circle jerk).

You can never interact negatively with their decisions or thoughts. Downvotes disabled. Admin literally removing any opposing view while keeping positive ones.

Admin removed the comment while keeping reply of it and commenting with Exactly this. Dear friend, we don’t know the main comment so how can we agree any of them?

IDK. I think it is very annoying for an instance built on diversity to have such reactions. Is it just me thinking like that? Am I the stupid one here?

Note: Posting this here so admins won’t be able to remove.

Edit: I guess I should add this. IDC should they defederate or not. I just don’t liked their behaviour.

    I just wish a user can block an instance.

    I don’t want a lot of porn, I don’t want the drama that consistently comes out of the other one, I also don’t want the far right assholes, and I don’t want the one that claims to unironically support the CCCP and USSR.

    Sure, I can block individual communities, but for all of those instances it feels like someone makes 20 identical subs everyday

    I could also make my own and instance and federate with who I want. But we’d end up with everyone doing it.

    I don’t want to pick a “cable package” where I settle for a bundle, I want a user to be able to add what they want ala carte

      There are current ways to block entire instances, either in the web interface through userscripts or in apps through their app-internal features.

        So some apps or desktop browser?

        I use the website on my phone because I don’t see the point of an app. But if some apps add a whole bunch of extra features I might need to look into that

        Eventually, yeah…

        Till then I browse by /all for the volume and block communities (and even some users) I don’t want to see anymore.

        If I just browsed by what I’m already subscribed too, I won’t see any new ones, and that’s kind of important when new subs are getting made constantly.

        But thanks for your suggestion you put zero thought into, it was a huge help
