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!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!
Id say there’s a fair chance he’s now blocked you 😅
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.
i come to lemmy to relax during my break at work, not to debate about weather or not we should carpet bomb civilians
well theres nothing to debate there. but since you brought it up, we shouldnt.
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.
id report and block someone using slurs, but ive never seen that on lemmy.
the op of this post blocked me for my comment. i didnt use any slurs.
The longer and more thoroughly you do so, the less aware you are; after a while you can be quite out of touch with the people and world around you. You live in a society, and it’s better to know your enemy than to be oblivious to them. Social networking with less social can be a hug box trap.
Nothing WRONG with doing it, however. It’s your right to be anywhere on the scale between being very social and total isolation.
I feel like this presumes people don’t have irl community and social networks. The Internet and social media isn’t my only view into the world. People are their worst selves online because there is no duty of care to each other.
I think it’s absurd to say that filtering your social media, something that inherently depends on engagement and algorithms, gives you a more narrow worldview. As if each social media doesn’t have inherent bias.
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.
.world have been proven to subscribe people to israeli propaganda mailing list. A read about a guy who used unique email address for each subscription and he started recieving emails about israel from the one he used for .world.
I don’t doubt this, but do you have a source?
I saw the firsthand accounts of multiple people saying this happened to them. One of them was an ex mod and the other used unique address.
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.
but is defederated from porn instances.
I didn’t know that, but that’s great
Yea I’d rather not have my social media experience intersperced with porn, haha.
thanks for this info, its appreciated.
No problem!
I always get the vibe it’s an astroturf. A way to c convince leftist to further isolate themselves like 1700 Japan. It just makes these people turn into Trump like archetypes where you only surround yourself with people you agree with.
I do and I just blocked you
a pity you will never hear my sincere congratulations
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
Lol I thought I was drunk and posted this meme.
Wait, I’m banned from here aren’t I? Why am I even seeing this .ml community?
Probably your ban expired, .ml rarily permabans
If this isn’t a joke this is the most hilarious mix up I have ever seen
Edit:
I hath been cancelled!
Why am I even seeing this .ml community?
Why do butthurt whiners keep asking this rhetorical question in our communities?
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 any 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?
Projection
+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.)
Dot world is subscribing people to israeli propaganda mailing list.
He’s also calling it a botted campaign
Solipsizing myself into pure brain-in-a-jar-theory speedrun
Oop, he’s here now. Have fun with him before he says more Zionist propaganda and gets banned, while feigning ignorance. https://lemmy.world/post/44343477/22722887
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.
Both of you are in the same thread lol
This really is a good bit lol
“No u”
See, zero substance
No u.
Checkmate.
