Users definitely need the ability to block entire instances themselves. That way we don't have to rely on others to do it for us or potentially block content we may want to see.

Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.

Just downvote them if you see them. On reddit they abused certain features to get to the front page and once that method of manipulation was killed by reddit you rarely saw their posts.
I'm pretty far left leaning, and I honestly hope the last part of Trump's life is spent in jail, but the fact is that a giant hunk of the US population is pro-Trump, and it seems insane to me to say that those people shouldn't be allowed a place to talk about their candidate as long as no other rules are broken. I'll just block the community and move on.
Well I think that is strength of Lemmy, everyone can have space on their own without anyone shutting them down, of course if crimes are commited this is a question for law authorities. If you don't want to see their content, you can either defederate or block their community.
I really don't understand this thinking that you cannot tolerate people with different opinion than yours to exist on the internet. Again if they break any laws, you can report it to authorities.
Hey all,
This community is being reviewed and will likely be a discussion point to in our Agora community where we discuss about issues like this as a community.
Post that are breaking rules will be removed. If its a regular occurrence so will the TheDonald community. Please continue reporting inappropriate posts and its difficult to maintain visibility on everything that is going on at all times.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Reading through the replies and I have to say ya'll don't take prisoners here. sheesh.
Anyway, I went through went through the community in question and reviewed not only the posts in the community and the comments made by the mods of the community and they weren't aligned with the kind of negativity I want to see on the instance. I have since purged the community and the mods.
