  You also don’t want to use another account for ban evasion. If you’ve been banned from a community or instance, then don’t post there with your other account.

  Well, and if you have too many accounts, it can also be annoying to people. For example, there’s a user on here called cm0002, who’s made it his mission to repost content from lemmy.ml communities to other instances.
  Lots of people just think that adds noise and would like to not see his reposts, ergo block him. But he also has a user account on virtually every Lemmy instance, so you have to blocks a ton of accounts…

  But yeah, if you’re a normal human being, likely neither of these are a problem. 😅

    Context :

    Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    > >I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitalize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms. > >Megathread on the issue > >Some highlights from the link: > >>Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism sh.itjust.works/post/61371958 >> >>.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia lemmy.world/post/29222558 >> The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: lemmy.world/post/18236068 >> >>“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/27352415 >> >>"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/30580167 >> >>“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin lemmy.world/post/30673342 >> >>“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev lemmy.world/post/31595035 >> >>General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin lemmy.world/post/27426510 > >And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long. > >I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda > >On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

    Under the settings menu you can export your settings as a JSON file.

    # Using python, read in a JSON file.  Immediately write it
    # back out as a new file using indent=2 to "pretty print"
    # the output so it's human and computer readable.
    # With care this can be edited to add/remove blocks
    # and reimported back into lemmy.  I've never used
    # the import process, so use with care.
    import json
    infile = <your filename here>
    outfile = <where you want it here>
    with open(infile, "r") as i:
        data = json.load(i)
    with open(outfile, "w") as o:
        json.dump(data, o, indent=2)

      What does this mean? I’m not sure how it relates to the comment it was responding to.

        you have to blocks a ton of accounts

        Sorry. In my head I had posted a complete thought, but in reality I left out the context. If you’ve grabbed all of cm0002’s accounts on one account, then you can export those account settings, export the settings for the other accounts, and make the blocklists the same for all the accounts, then reimport them. That might not be simpler than just blocking them whenever you see them, but it’s workable. You could also manually add to the blocklist if you knew all his accounts/instances.

        I wouldn’t be shocked if one day there wasn’t some third party tool for managing/sharing blocklists.
