On a tangent, is it possible to block/ignore lemmygrad and it's users? They are obviously trolling here with good old whataboutism and russo talking points
Edit: corrected the stupid spelling of this stupid place
-
Heads up, I can assure you the Lemmygrad and Hexbear folks are not trolling. They are legitimate believers of Chinese/Russian/North Korean talking points, and some of them even live there
Welcome to the federated Internet

So real fascists taking over the biggest lemmy instance then?
Don't know what to think about Lemmy right now tbh. Most of the content is quite based, awesome, fresh memes, and especially the programming stuff js top notch.
But the amount of russo shit and antisemitism is on another level...
-
One reason why lemm.ee might not be the best newbie instance, most others have lemmygrad and hexbear defederated (read: blocked). You can block them yourself in your profile settings, or you can move to a different instance.
-
lemm.ee works for me because I like getting into arguments but if you don't enjoy that I would recommend basically any other instance.
-
-
That depends on who your instance is federated with. Personally I have never seen any posts from them.
I think you can easily block their instances, but sure it's not the best starting point for new users.
-
Real fascists? My dear god you're in a post that straight up wants a "make europe great again" and its us that are opposed "the real fascists"?
Europe has unconditionally supported the ethnical cleansing of Palestinians and parrots Herzlian talking points but we are the anti-semites?
-
It's everyone right to have an opinion, regardless of what their political affiliation is, as long as it doesn't devolve into extremism.
-
They tend to smother level-headed discussions with their propaganda though. Sadly this is not how the internet works, and certainly seems to be a problem in Lemmy

Lemmy.ca is a nice instance if you are looking for one that blocks those instances. The fascists were here before people from reddit started moving over, but as people started coming over that aspect started getting diluted. Now you just have to choose an instance that doesn't federate with them.

You can always check the /instances endpoint of every lemmy server to see its blocked instances.

In Voyager I can block instances in the settings. Not sure if that’s only voyager/specific apps or if that’s a Lemmy default.
Besides that, migrating to an instance that has defederated from lemmygrad also works. I’m on lemmy.world and I’ve never seen anything from 'grad.
-
Ditto. I’m using this instance right now and I have never seen any of them so why don’t you come on over here? It’s nicer.

-
Awww, sorry the rest of the world doesn’t cowtail to your far-right neo-fascist delusional view of the world. It must be so hard for you, being exposed to differing views and all
-
If you are using the Connect app for Lemmy, you can block Hexbear and Lemmygrad in the settings. I did that as well.
