Every time I see an anti-.ml meme I wonder, why are people so worried about people seeing .ml content? If they're jerks, wouldn't you want people to stumble into .ml and find out?
.ml is just the latest designated "tankie" instance. So far it's the third one. Once .world defederates from .ml, the same people who currently hate .ml will designate another "tankie" instance to hate.
So .world is extremely anti free speech? Is there an easy way I can block all of .world from my feed then?
Free speech means that you can speak your opinion freely without the state (country...) punishing you for it.
Free speech doesn't mean I have to listen to/read everything.
And yes, you can block the whole of lemmy.world easily, if you want to.
Didn't ask what you wish I meant by "free speech" or what you're glad I don't mean by it.
Would thank you for answering what I asked if you didn't waste my time answering (with fucked up wording) those 2 un-asked questions first
People who rant about "free speech" typically mean "hate speech" but don't have the balls to just call it that.
Why do you want to block an instance? You don't like free speech?
I did answer with these statements on your first question. Regarding the second one, sorry I'm not the tech support.
Wow you really wasted 5 seconds reading a lemmy reply
Yes, you can block it in settings.
Interesting way of reasoning: "They are bad because they block stuff they don't want to read, so I block them because what they do is stuff I don't want to read."
Shouldn't you be blocking yourself if you follow that way of reasoning?
There's a lot of users there who would very much prefer that no one to their left (and only their left) should be permitted to speak.
Your reply comes form there but will probably be the last post I see from there because I'm gonna go ahead and block the instance. Unless that still lets replies come through (fine with me, main feed is more my focus)
Oh look, someone else to block.
