@DosDude@retrolemmy.com E.g.
Because Sonalder’s account is on lemmy.ml This post doesn’t show up on our 🛜 This is the exact Bias in code I was talking about.

I don’t have to like campists in order to interact with things we do intersect with.

…Eh, as a stranger from another instance, I respectfully disagree.

I too came to Lemmy with the mindset of “don’t block anyone,” but honestly, lemmy.ml can be a lot. It derails normal threads, sometimes. If yall are going for a retro-games focused instance, it’s a reasonable thing to filter.

I like interacting with many of .ml's communities too, but I also understand an attempt at instance curation.

Because lemmy.ml can be bit much for most people, I put lemmy.ml on the default block list. You can unblock them through your user settings. As stated by the welcome message by retrobot

I'm on RetroFed right now and this post showed up for me

Do you have more details? Can you reproduce the issue? What app/frontend are you using?

[–] arules@retrofed.com 1 points 11 hours ago

I am using the piefed FE.
It's strangely showing up now that you replied to me.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, actually, I'm seeing lemmy.ml in the link OP posted too.

Maybe they're running a piefed app or something? I dunno, Im just spitballing.
