Lemmy in general seems weird. At .org I had people rather have actual children fucker be free rather than tolerate the police scan all outgoing connections of an entire provider for a single IP over three day. It allowed them to catch the dudes behind a giant child porn website.
I get that privacy is important and state control is dangerous, but at some point you need to show some common sense? That was not a “for the children™” moment or something, it was a concrete and successful strike against actual, significant child porn.
I fucked off of the entire instance right after. What the fuck. I’m not going to have an argument about maybe scanning for an IP over three days is worth kids not getting raped in the arse and put online. Good God.
.World has the highest post activity. But someone pointed out their instance is heavily reposting from Reddit.
Makes sense why they resemble it so much.
Lemmy world? What did we do? :x
Lemmy.world is a very libbed up instance, when I say liberal I mean in the political definition and not the us slag.
Never thought about blocking lemmy.world … Maybe I should!
Take the plunge! It’s honestly better here blocking .world
10/10:Strong recommend.
Nooooo. We’re not all jerks.
Genuinely blocking the bad .world made lemmy not ‘just reddit’ and thus so much better.
If I wanted far right wing corporate sponsored viewpoints like “genocide is necessary so we can survive” I would just make another reddit account.
If I am on voyager can I block an instance? If I wanted to hear the viewpoints of the view and all the other cable news anchors repeated back ad nauseum I would watch tv
Yes, you can. But you don’t do it from the instance page, you have to add it to the list of blocked instances in voyager options
Will look, thanks
Is Voyager a mobile app? Would it completely hide comments? Connect seems to have killed .world posts but just put a “view” button over comments.
I just had to block that whole instance as well, especially because the same people mod all the subs. They literally delete me comments for being “uncivil,” though I was literally just repeating back what was said to me. Those comments were allowed to stay, of course. The mod was supposedly generous for not banning me. It’s cool, bro, I’ll ban myself.
Ła Venexia daxà senpre gà probleme da brente, anpò con ła scaldada global i pare roba xornaliera, no so de ła sità (o stesso de ła Europa!) ma me insusto migołìn.
…sorry for the others, I couldn’t help it. Anyway:
The best part of LW is that it’s a gate to the Fediverse, welcoming everyone from Reddit.
And the worst part of LW is that it’s a gate to the Fediverse, welcoming everyone from Reddit.As such I can relate to the OP. There’s a lot of crap coming from that instance, but also users and content worth interacting with.
Gàstu scrito quéło in venesian parché chi che no parla ła lengua no lo pol tradur? Because I had a bitch of a time lol.
You make a good point!
Gàstu scrito quéło in venesian parché chi che no parla ła lengua no lo pol tradur?
Daseno go scrito in venetan par estro. I almost never have the opportunity to use the language, might as well use it when it’s relevant. If native speakers find it here, I hope that they feel at home. (Minus the flooding… or actually with the flooding, swap “Adriatic” with “Lemmy.World” and here you go.)
Because I had a bitch of a time lol.
Sorry!
Might as well translate the whole thing for the others:
- [Me] Venice always had problems with flooding, but with the global warming they look like a daily thing, I’m not from the city (or even from Europe!) but it worries/annoys (can’t translate it well) me a bit.
- [You] Have you written it in Venetian so the ones who don’t speak the language can’t translate it?
- [Me] Seriously, I wrote it in Venetian in a whim. [insert stuff already in English]
I haven’t experienced .world to be as problematic yet. Lemmy.ml is pure tankies though.
Can you even define tankie?
No, definitely not, I’m just some politically illiterate idiot.
Why don’t you be so kind and do it for me?
That’s because you’re not equating voting for Harris as supporting genocide
And you pretend as if there’s a less genocidal option.
It’s beyond asinine the arguments you think are good. If Harris doesn’t win, Trump does, and he’s Putler’s bitch.
If I forced you at gunpoint to eat shit and gave you the option of Donald Trump’s diarrhea and a few pellets of inoffensive rabbit poop, you’d choose the rabbit pellets, despite us all knowing no-one wants to eat shit.
People like you are why humanity is shit. You. You’re rhe reason for it, personally. Not the whole reason, but a direct one.
You don’t even know what my opinion is, and you’re projecting and insulting immediately. Why would anyone even engage in that conversation with you? Think about it.
Idk what you said to get moderated, but enjoy running back to .world and crying censorship because you faced consequences.
You love imagining these little scenarios in your head, but unfortunately for you, they never quite play out the way you think they will, do they?
You love imagining yourself living rent free in our heads, but unfortunately for you, we dont give a fuck about you or your quarter assed troll bullshit.
Seems like I’ve bothered you with something I said apparently. Wouldn’t know, I don’t care enough to even check the context of your reply.
I had this going on with hexbear for the longest time. It was a mix of my client not supporting instance bans, me not being willing to change clients, and a remaining shred of faith in humanity that - surely - there must be some good people on the site with something of value to add.
In the end, I ended up deciding that the noise to Signal ratio was so high, it wasn’t worth the time filtering through the steam of mental fecal matter to interact with the rare sane person; I switched clients, blocked the instance, and am far more happy.
Some instances simply aren’t worth losing brain cells for the relatively few people of value on them. It’s a sledgehammer tool, and I’ve used it only twice, but in both cases it’s been a positive quality-of-life feature.
I’ve never even gotten to experience what everyone talks about regarding hexbear bc my instance is defederated from them. I guess it’s a good thing though lol
Create an account there. Dip your toe in. It’s worth seeing, just to know; like seeing what’s going on in Truth Social.
