A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

What instances do you block and/or contain the most trolls? (lemmy.world)

I found that things became much more pleasant on here when I blocked hexbear. I recently blocked lemmy.ml as well, but I may reverse that if I find that I'm missing too much good content.

I'm open to other ideas on how to mostly avoid people who love conflict or argue in bad faith.

I have blocked nothing, but then I like a few shitposts in the feed. Keeps it spicy.

I think I blocked some porn instance but otherwise nothing.

I'm not the kind of guy who must block something I don't agree with.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nor am I. I'm also not the sort of person who expresses their comments in absolute terms.

Can someone please explain all the .ml hate? From what I've seen, it's mostly a tech (i.e., not tank!) instance and I haven't experienced any drama at all aside from other instances hating on us. It seems WAY too overblown and generalized from my experience. If the OP blocked .ml are they even able to see my response here?

I honestly appreciate the alternative perspective of some of the other instances but it just gets toxic, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

For now, I blocked three communities, one about gossiping and two about adult material. I also blocked a bot that keeps cross posting things from Reddit. That's all that I blocked so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

The only instance I've blocked is nsfw because I'm not into porn. The others have never bothered me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I never block anyone or any instance. I simply ignore them. I also use the subscribed feed, so what most of the people say about hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. content filling their feed also does not affect me.
