Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development
hakase@lemm.ee 20 hours agoMost of Lemmy is fine - just avoid the tankie triad of lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear and you should be good to go.

Sadly that is not enough, blocking instances at user level leaves you forced to deal with their users who will spread propaganda in every comment. Defederate? My instance already defederated those 3 but their posts still appear if someone from a sever that aligns with them (I can’t see any other reason to keep a federation with them) crossposts to their instance, now that post will federate with the rest anyway. Defederation should be total, but they left loopholes by design.
And it still won’t matter because not all countries have a no-bullshit instance/comm, so it’s extremely easy to see someone post propaganda about a country without enough users on the fediverse and nobody will know, but if someone from that country challenges it, the users will pile on them (specially if it’s a populist) and downvote them (I can safely say that the only news I’ve seen about my country are goverment propaganda, but lemmy users get MAD if it’s pointed out).Lemmy as it exists right now must dissapear, it’s designed maliciously to keep the propaganda going instead of fighting it, it’s just the other extreme of Reddit.
I am waiting for PieFed to get more developed to see if it gets better blocking capabilities, because I’m tired of the lemmy loopholes.4n41y4no5@crazypeople.online 3 hours ago

The roadmap contains a new feature for extended instance block, which also blocks all posts and comments from that instance’s users. If some feature is not implemented in Lemmy thats not out of malice, but because we really dont have time to work in everything that people ask for.

I can certainly see that Hexbear and the other two are very vocal and toxic here. Engaging in some discussion or getting my views challenged is fine, I’d rather not close myself in a bubble, but it’s sad that they would be so quick to insult and ban you. It does worry that they have some of the biggest communities. I wish I could say “oh well the protocol is neutral” but I think that with most OSS projects it matters tremendously who is at the helm; also, another poster outlined quite well that these instances seem to be the showcase for the system.

And if you want instances where holocaust deniers turn their nose up and avoid, consider joining lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and hexbear!
