Don't worry, folks! The tankies from hexbear will be here soon to explain why this is all fake.
With Lemmygrad hot on their heels!
I've stopped recommending Lemmy to friends because of those two instances
Seriously, they sometimes make me regret making an account here. It's tiring.
Yeah going to. They’re already brigading me with downvotes because they can’t handle opposition lol.
Right? Literally the entire point of decentralization.
Feels like half my experience on Lemmy is blocking "communities" from those instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad, explodingheads... constant propaganda, low quality political and even fully racist memes with tons of upvotes polluting my feed. It's not enjoyable and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it even for me, let alone my less tech savvy friends.
I get federation, decentralized social media, etc. I love the idea. Would be amazing to socialize without a corporation looking over my shoulder. But seriously those instances and their propaganda have pretty much killed my excitement about it.
... you only have to set up those preferences once, friend. Your argument is like saying you don't want to eat anymore because picking up food with your hand is tiresome. 😅
I can set my preferences once or a million times and Lemmy will still be ruined by propaganda
Try making a post in your instance asking your admins to defederate from those places, if they refuse for some reason, pack your bags to a different instance that will. That's the beauty of federation ^^
