    Oh no be careful, they might start posting gifs and emojis in response to you, thus nullifying any valid argument you might have!

      The latest lemmy update allows users to block entire instances.

      My lemmy experience has been 100 times better with hexbear and lemmygrad blocked.

        Unfortunately startrek.website is still running 18, so I’m stuck with playing whack-a-mole

          Yeah, no. There’s really not much value lost when blocking both Lemmygrad and Hexbear. Lemmygrad is straight up insanity, it would go down as the greatest satire instance if not for the fact that they actually believe the shit they’re saying. And the loudest users of Hexbear are just hypocrites. They completely justify brigading other instances in the most offensive way possible and cry wolf when they get blocked, only to turn around and ban anyone who even remotely questions their ideology on their own instance. Blocking either is the equivalent of blocking a far-right instances, because they’re all extremist.

          And this is coming from a socialist who has not blocked either instance. In fact I’m more likely to get blocked by them because despite being supposedly ideologically adjacent we have very little common ground, and they don’t take kindly to someone questioning their actions or beliefs.

          Eh, I’m here to relax and have fun.

          Not be told I’m a piece of shit who deserves to be executed because I had the audacity to be born every ten minutes.

            Unfortunately this instance really isn’t interested they are tankies as much as the other two you might as well ban this one too, it’s a shame so many communities are on here

          Oh, I thought it was because those instances are home to communities of obnoxious assholes.

          If not wanting to interact with those idiots means I’m “in an echo chamber” ok.

          Except they were the ones that created Lemmy in the first place so they could live in their own little echo chamber so if anyone’s guilty of running away to hide from criticism it’s them not the general public. You know because most people don’t think communism is great. Mostly because they either saw it, learned about it, or lived through it.
