Hello World, Today, after careful consideration and evaluation of recent events,
we have decided to defederate from Lemmygrad [https://lemmygrad.ml].
Regrettably, we have observed a significant increase in hate speech and calls to
violence originating from the Lemmygrad instance. Due to the severity...
Pretty sure kbin defeds from some of the worst, like exploding heads (though they've since imploded) and rammy.
Also you can always block the entire domain on kbin so you don't have to deal with those jagoffs at least. Just go to kbin.social/d/\ and you can block all content coming from that domain/instance.
It's not defederated from exploding-heads, hexbear, lemmygrad & others. It doesn't even ban extremistic magazines & users either.
And no, you cannot block an entire domain on kbin. Blocking an instance through the interface like this does nothing. The posts & comments from those places will still show up on your feed. You have to block each and every single magazine / community individually. I tried this with the furry instance and lemmy.ml already.
Just a warning, blocking instances on kbin leads to an issue where you can’t see any of the comments on your own threads, and your own threads don’t show up in your own feed.
I couldn't fucking care less. If I want to see their edgelord circle jerk bullshit I'll create an account on the instance. No one is being silenced. They can spew their bullshit to their hearts content and no one is being prevented from listening who wants to. The people who are pissing and moaning are just whining because they can't force everyone to listen anymore like they could on Reddit and that isn't any fun.
Lemmy is federated. No one can stop anyone from listening to what they want to listen to and no one can force you to listen to intentionally annoying edgelords if you don't want to.
I'm not letting anyone do anything. If I had a problem with it I'd have spent my time elsewhere. When I registered it was the only defederated instance and that was fine by me.
Tbh, with how the lemmy world admins behave im surprised they didn't defederate us yet... Like they basically belong on Lemmygrad judging by political views...
If Lemmy.world didn't have trending memes calling the Lemmygrad dudes literal Nazis while the poster spews bullshit all over the comments I'd agree.
Not tankies. Not red fascists. Not walking proof of horseshoe theory. Dude's calling them national socialists and dumbasses are upvoting him for it.
But, then again, my instance is defederated from them already so maybe I'm not seeing them talk about the glory of the Aryan race and complaining about the degenerate West letting gay people stay alive.
I actually don't mind hexbears and lemmygrad.ml. It is a good reminder to have that just like the world, the internet is filled with shitty people/beliefs. Makes it easier to take the things you see with a grain of salt. I don't want an echo chamber.
The only problem I have with them is that they sound like MAGA idiots with their "liberal" bullshit. I get irrationally irritated every time I see one of those posts. I'm still not entirely convinced that they're not just MAGA hats pretending to be communists to make actual communists look bad.
I don't want an echo chamber, but sometimes shit can be so draining to understand stuff I need a break. That's when I do want one, for a short amount of time to relieve myself of the mental and emotional pressure. Once I'm sorted, then I can deal with it again.
The worst I've seen is some mild trolling, and some different opinions. It feels like lemmy.world is just fragile. Glad I choose kbin.social, let's me decide what I want to see for myself.
