How can I block all Lemmygrad content? As a user can I block an instance? Are there instances that already block them? (lemmy.world)

Yes, so I want to browse all but actually control the content, block instances, block keywords, etc... currently using Jerboa, but not married to it.

There used to be one, but it was shut down and in general the Lemmy community has (had?) a good immune system against letting these people get a foot-hold.

Well, I had to see a ukrainians-are-nazis meme on my timeline and that's not something I can just ignore. If I can't find a way to get rid of that type of vomit I can't continue using this platform. Remaining neutral always favors the oppressor.

He wants to remove sources that produce bullshit, not be part of a body that removes anything that hurts the sensibility.

"remaining neutral always favors the oppressor" sounds like they want to remove anything that hurts the sensibility.

"First they came for the genocide apologists..."

I'm always wary of those who wish to censor others. To me, defederating from lemmygrad is the same as defederating from lemmy.world. you're closing yourself off from other points of view and discussions with others.

Though I much prefer the fediverse view of "block/remove it from your own feed but they can still post as they please" than traditional social media's "ban them off the entire platform for disagreeing".

Sounds like you’re with the oppressors.

[-] Otome-chan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I'm on the side of allowing discussion so that people can understand each other and not get stuck in polarizing echochambers.

[-] Lols@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

that was probably commies rather than the alt right

they also have a tendency to call folks race traitors and deny genocides

something something horseshoe

Join one of the many instances than block them then. I agree that lemmygrad is full of horrible people ever since the /r/genzedong migration there.

I heard exploding-heads was the right wing one? I haven't actually checked it though.

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not the main one, that used to be wolfballs but it dissapeared from the net a short while ago. maybe it will come back, but it is still widely blocked.

exploding-heads is more of a right leaning shitposting site.

Ygdrassil is probably the worst I've seen so far when it comes to far-right idiots, but don't actually recommend you to check it out. The rules section alone is enough to make you vomit
