You can block it for yourself if that works for you. You don't have to limit other people's options.
I can block .ml communities in my GUI. But I can't block its users, unless I go 1 by 1. Blocking the communities is big, but not enough.
I think you can block the entire instance, not community by community or user by user.

It doesn't work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance "block" (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view
Lemmy's "block" still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that they've been known to do
And it still allows conspiracy theories, propaganda and misinformation to spread and fester and affect users who are unaware
They literally have articles over there spreading the Russian propaganda that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because it's "full of Nazis"
Besides this is the Threadiverse, there will always be an instance with wide federation if you as an individual choose to open yourself up to that kind of "content"

.world needs .ml else it would just become Reddit 2.0, just as boring and asinine, but without the traffic. .world is the kiddie pool... but not everyone knows how to swim, so it fills an important role!

After lemm.ee went down I joined ml because it was the largest instance ๐
I didn't know the backstory
Lol it's ok, they do things purposefully like that to an extent to get that result. Like if you go to Lemmygrad or Hex's homepage its quite clear you're somewhere weird that needs further investigation.
You go-to lemmy.mls homepage and it looks like a normal "privacy focused" instance. Until you innocently comment in support of Ukraine or something and find yourself being dunked on and banned for supporting a "Nazi regime"
.world is Shitlibia so you did fine.
A lot of the people giving ML a bad reputation came over from Hexbear after they were defederated by almost everyone, I suspect the angry commies would just create a new account on another instance.
And? Better to let them have to engage as a normie instead of having an entire instance astroturfing their BS.
I'd rather they stay on ML, that way I can block the instance and never hear from them.
Thank you for being the voice of reason. You may not want to hear from socialists because you're a fake CIA liberal, but other people deserve to hear our message and to be banned by our great admins

I'm personally not on lemmy.ml but they literally advertise what their ideology is. If I go to a meeting of socialists in my community, I am expected to be in agreement with, or at least tolerant of, socialist viewpoints. If you're entering lemmy.ml you're expected to tolerate ML viewpoints, obviously.
They do not, Hex and Grad, yes. This is the current homepage of lemmy.ml, nothing indicates them being a Tankie Instance supporting Authoritarian regimes and their misinformation:
The ML stands for Marxist-Leninist. I recall it being clarified better when I last visited several years ago. "What is Lemmy.ml?" is a link that expands on the instance as "niche" rather than mainstream.
ML stands for Mali, there's no TLD for Marxism lol
And there's no domain for Team Fortress 2, but lots of people use .tf for TF2 focused websites.

Yes but being federated with them means they can have their conversation in your space or overrun it, hence why op is saying it would be better to defederate

I may not like the .ml political stance, but there are definitely people on there that may have non-political things worth listening to, which is why I haven't bothered blocking them. They may have some good opinions on open source software and such. I just avoid their news community because I know I will disagree with them and their stance.
The spread of Russian propaganda and misinformation is in large part the reason for a lot of the right-wing BS. There's been articles and documentation of their Misinformation campaign for at least a decade now
"Russia, shit military, fantastic intelligence service" ~A lemming comment I read once but can't find again
We should not be a party to it's continuing spread

They can always venture out of .ml. They're much better behaved when they do, which is great for everyone.
Honestly .ml and .world deserve each other. Sh.it.just.works too, most common in my blocked user list.
What did we do?
We exist.
Nah, probably because some people find the url funny and annoy people with that account.

came here to make the exact same 1st statement. .world is quite a bully friendly instance.
Just look at my modlogs from them. Feds through and through.
I know nothing irt sh.itjust.works
sky traffic? wow so cool
Why is this on shitpost? Dude's got a mega thread with references and receipts.
Yeah, Hexbear and Lemmygrad are instant blocks. For .ml, you either joined on the wrong instance or are too deep into communist dreams
Nah .world would suck all by itself they have their own brand of censorship
