They don't block .ml so they can spam "you're on .ml lol everyone you're talking to is an idiot/tankie/Sino-Russian bot" unprompted to anyone else who actually tries to engage in debate here. Acting like an edgelord with low effort dunks presumably also with a saviour complex of "guiding people who stumbled into the tankie zone back to the Western-liberal light" takes priority over actually blocking the people they hate and keep threatening to block.

But, but! You can change ~~the system~~ people from within by voting!
if a person thinks blocking users and communities they dont like is the way to curate their feed, i hope they block all the communities im in.
To be fair, you're on an instance that blocks communist instances. Or do you mean defederation is better than individual blocking?
im new to lemmy, so i was yet unaware of .world instance blocking communist instances. i'll look into that.
i think blocking is goofy, thats what i was trying to convey.
Gotcha. Lemmy.world is defederated from Lemmygrad.ml and Hexbear.net , so if you want a more general instance Lemmy.zip is probably more what you want. Alternatively, Lemmy.ml is federated with those two (and almost every other major instance), but is defederated from porn instances.
thanks for this info, its appreciated.
No problem!
I do and I just blocked you
a pity you will never hear my sincere congratulations
People have this weird dislike of the block button and anyone that uses it. I use it very frequently on any social media site I use in order to have a better experience. It was one of my bigger problems with Reddit cause it had an extremely low block limit.
what do you mean with "low block limit"
The amount of users you can block was really low. From what I've looked up it's 1000 which is basically nothing. When I was using Twitter I had over 20k accounts blocked to better curate my experience.
How much time does it take to accumulate 20k blocked accounts?! That's almost 20 a day every single day for 3 years Go touch some grass!
Lol I thought I was drunk and posted this meme.
Big brain meme template:
Regular brain -> curating feed by subbing to comms and browse based on my subbed community Big brain -> curating feed by browsing all and block the community I don't like Galaxy brain -> curating feed by browsing all and getting banned from communities
Wait, I'm banned from here aren't I? Why am I even seeing this .ml community?
Probably your ban expired, .ml rarily permabans
Why am I even seeing this .ml community?
Why do butthurt whiners keep asking this rhetorical question in our communities?
If this isn't a joke this is the most hilarious mix up I have ever seen
Edit:
I hath been cancelled!
because you have to be super banned, not just ordinary banned. lol
