Tom, can I request that we keep our blocklist empty? (feddit.uk)

I dont like tankies or tories any more than the next person, but breaking federation is just wrong.

I dont want to have to make a separate account just to get around that, mainly because this is actually already my account for getting around that!

Its quite easy to block a community at user level, if needed, and we are not the target of any spam, but now we users have lost the option of the ability to interact forever with a corner of the threadiverse, which i think is not cool.

If its just me thinking this way, fine, i'll just maintain several accounts, but i would hope its not, because its feeling like instances are gettinh pretty triggerhappy with the block button https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances/tree/main

I tend to agree that blocking some political subs etc is perhaps not the best, since every user on the instance will suffer, but please take a skim-read of the banned Beehaw instances - you will find something you do not want on here. Tom as a server owner also will have a vested interest in blocking some of this content that passes through his infrastructure.

Because the content is actually hosted on the server, I definitely think there's a legal and moral cause to block some of these.

Sure, let Lemmygrad in, that's fine, but a lot of those links are staying unclicked for me and I'd probably want my server clean of it.

Lemmygrad are fine as long as they don't start brigading my Northern Ireland community.
