That entire instance is infested with a massive amount of right-wing hate, transphobia, homophobia, and ugly political vitriol under the guise of “allowing free speech”, rising to the same level or worse than lemmygrad (which we have already defederated from for obvious reasons). Please get this garbage off of the “all” page given that the entire instance actively breaks the rules of lemmy.one and is only providing them with a larger platform. I think a few trolls may have already spilled over.
just take a 20 second scroll through this mess or any of the other communities there: https://lemmy.one/c/dankmemes@exploding-heads.com
In mastodon you can mute an entire instance without having the main instance do it for you. I wonder if theres a plan to add this to lemmy.
No it’s not you can only block communities as a user but not whole instances.
Agree, that place is a cess pit of absolute trash
Lol that dank memes page is pretty funny.
To quash your worry, when you keep banning things, those people crave it more. Otherwise people will just get bored of the jokes if they’re only making trans jokes, then it’ll not be upvoted.
Let the system work, and use the block feature if you don’t like it.
Alright I don’t actually have a clue how this Fediverse works. There’s one guy who is so obsessed with trans that his name is “I hate trans”, posting weird political stuff.
But I don’t know if that was to dank memes or what.
I might not be for banning jokes, but I support banning idiots. Anyone that obsessed is just going to generate 0 interesting content.
That is the point of my OP.
Exploding-heads actively welcomes people of that level of idiocy, and from the little I can see, the majority of that instance’s users are that way. We cannot actively block every single one of their users from here because they will simply keep coming on new accounts unless you just cut off the source.
Just block it, or go to Threads if you enjoy a sterile environment
I don’t understand why you were downvoted. Lemmy gives us all the tools we need to block communities and users we don’t want to see. Is that not good enough? Do they want to control the experience for everyone else as well? Bunch of authoritarians in here.
They have 26 downvotes. You have two. You don’t see them because your instance doesn’t let you see them. We can see them from other instances.
Lemmy also gives you the possibility to set up your own instance and choose your own rules and who you federate with…
Exactly. If OP wants to defederated, they should go and set up their own instance. Why are they trying to control the experience for everyone else?
Exactly this. People have the tools and abilities to block these communities and domains if they don’t want to see that content. Pulling out the de-federation ban-hammer whenever you personally aren’t keen on the content isn’t a reasonable solution.
All the downvotes to this comment are ridiculous. Everyone on this site has the ability to block any instance they want. Want “X” instance off your front page? Guess what, you can do that with the click of a button.
That’s not a feature. If you want to block an entire instance, you have to appeal to an admin to defederate, or you have to run your own instance and add them to your blacklist
Or you just block any communities from the instance you don’t like. It’s slightly less convenient than one button for the whole instance, but it does the same thing.
Just block it, or go to Threads if you enjoy a sterile environment
That’s such a simple view of how it goes. The bigoted user’s go over to communities I run and harass my members.
In the same way they harass members of non-exploding heads communities. They can go be bigoted in their bubble but I do not want them here.
I am glad Lemmy.Worlds defederated from them. Good riddance.
