I like so many things about kbin, but definitely don’t need another unmoderated spammy site to visit. I check back every few weeks, and nothing seems to improve.

Given the apparent inability to implement blocking, I’m not terribly hopeful.

Yeah, it’s very sad.

The core of the issue is that it’s too easy for us privileged folks to suggest things like - and I’m not trying to pick on you at all here - that vulnerable people stay in any sort of “self-enforced walled garden” rather than robust moderation tools and the human resources to use them to their full potential.

This is effectively permission to continue their neglectful behavior.

As I understand it, one of the major issues with moving to e.g. Mastodon is that the Fediverse doesn’t implement blocking in a way that you’d expect, at all. It’s effectively impossible to block someone the way we’re used to blocking in places like Twitter, Instagram.

I have also heard a lot of stories from Black folks about anti-Black sentiment on Mastodon.

I’m in the US and don’t have the ability to opt-out of these things.

I used Sync for Reddit for many years but the Lemmy version’s privacy policy is not what I was hoping to see. I would love a clarification around what privacy improvements a subscription might add…

Knowing him, he’ll forget to remove the first redirect

I’m definitely trying to lurk less here compared to when I used to use reddit.
