I need Rule
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Fuckin' hilarious how quick tankies become obsessed with avoiding echo chambers when on their own communities they have a ban policy of "anything to the right of unironically calling Stalin Daddy."
To actually answer the question, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear will remove most of the redfash content, but you'll still need to be vigilant for individual users to block. Also, blocking users doesn't prevent them from posting on your shit, just stops you from being notified or being able to see it, AFAIK Boost doesn't have defederation for individual users so you'd need to do that over browser.
This comment brought to you by the absolute right to curate who is in your social orbit, same as in real life ya platform obsessed whingers.
I'm downvoting you for not knowing the difference between communists and tankies.
And I'm neither.
Bullshit. You're just falling for one of them parroting phrases from the other, while taking the polar opposite actions.
Alot of things are a "cancer" on lemmy in my opinion.
My opinion on the subject is
I'm personally a believer in freedom of speech so If these extreme left wing folk want go go off galbanting about all that shite that's all fine n dandy prehaps lemmy.world may benefit from being more pro freedom of speech prehaps not that's not for me to decide it's upto the instance owner
Good... On a forum based platform it's better to not restrict people's ability to respond to things, as it can help combat people's ability to block those arguing with them right after making easily counterable points to prevent decent comebacks
It's a nightmare for harassment though, treating all blocking as a sissy snowflake shield renders it essentially useless for circumstances where the other user is really malicious.
In that case having a system like Mastodon's that locks them out of Replying is better than simply covering them up. We can't really rely on Instance admins to block all malicious users or defederate from all malicious platforms so there needs to be a certain level of protection from the user's side.
I do think that Blocking and Restricting (preventing a user from interacting) should be different functions, you block communities and users because you don't want to see them, but you restrict users because they are hostile, malicious, or make bad-faith arguments.
Nah, your right to keep debating ends when someone else decide's they're not a platform for further discussion.
No longer being able to reply to the blocker, and ideally not even being able to see the blocker is the ideal, and both the blocker and the blockee should need to agree to reopen contact for the block to go down.
Like a restraining order, stops the original blocker from raising and lowering it at will as a harassment tactic.
Remember blocking on Reddit? It made it so you couldn't reply to anything in the chain. So if someone different replied to you you wouldn't be able to reply to them even though they aren't who blocked you.
That was a recent change, and one for the worse. Part of the reason I'm using lemmy as well now that boost is functioning for it
