    Why does everyone have beef with lemmy.ml

    The admins and mods cultivate a community of genocide denial and authoritarian apologism, which many users on the instance then buy into.

    Why don’t you just block the instance

    Instance blocking only blocks communities, not users, who still show up whenever there’s a Chinese genocide to deny or a Russian atrocity to “WHATABOUT”, or a non-Western aligned dictator to “BOTHSIDES”.

    My current favorite is Taliban-simping.

      When I accidentally blocked an instance, any comment from a user on that instance would be replaced by a message like “you have blocked this instance and so will not see this comment.” I don’t know if that’s a feature of my client, Connect, or of lemmy itself.
