I think the fair thing to do, is to respond in the same scale (i. e. blocking specific users) instead of going all ballistic with instance blocks.

it's not just random users, the mods of larger communities like [email protected] will delete your comments and ban you simply for disagreeing with them.

For this, some people proposed to move the community from one instance to another. Now, it seems to me like the incentive to comment on instances ideologically biased for people who cares about the voting system is basically to troll the opposing instance. Which leads to this petty battle that I will ignore from now on.

EDIT: It's also interesting to note that lemmy.ml is not like any other instance. In fact, it would be beneficial to not have big communities here. My account is here because it's an old account, but lemmy.ml should be more like a "testing" instance, and they probably shouldn't be signing up more people. The admins and devs acknowledge this from time to time. So, I guess everyone wins with this.
