I’m done, I’ve been banned for expressing a different opinion (without insulting or personally attacking anyone), I’ve been accused of evading a ban with multiple accounts (this is my only account I’ve ever had on any lemmy instance), I’ve had people selectively ignore my comments and accuse me of things which I never said, and I’ve had people ignore valid criticisms and keep attacking me.
Reddit has many issues with trolls, one-sided discussion, and just general bullshit, but many Lemmy instances are way worse. The newfound freedom of Lemmy has attracted many extremists, from both sides, and many of them are moderators, who are more than happy to remove any contrarian opinions. This results in discussions being echo chambers
My block list is extremely large too. It seems someone wants to make a community for everything no matter now niche it is. And so many random anime comms I have to block as I am not a anime fan. I get the message when browsing all “you have blocked all posts on page x” so often it’s become an annoyance.
I would love if my app would let me block a community from the post on all. I do it SO often.
Voyager does, fwiw
Connect has a block community and block instance feature, give it a shot!
Lemmy 0.19.X allows that.
Lemmyworld will update in March (forgot the exact date)
Once in a while I search for communities I might like and subscribe to them. I then only browse my subscribed communities, so I don’t have to block communities. I think of it as white listing my Lemmy feed.
Browsing all and then blocking communities I don’t like seems like black listing. It seems like it’s a lot more work.
