How can I block all Lemmygrad content? As a user can I block an instance? Are there instances that already block them? (self.lemmyworld)

Yes, so I want to browse all but actually control the content, block instances, block keywords, etc... currently using Jerboa, but not married to it.

"remaining neutral always favors the oppressor" sounds like they want to remove anything that hurts the sensibility.

"First they came for the genocide apologists..."

I'm always wary of those who wish to censor others. To me, defederating from lemmygrad is the same as defederating from lemmy.world. you're closing yourself off from other points of view and discussions with others.

Though I much prefer the fediverse view of "block/remove it from your own feed but they can still post as they please" than traditional social media's "ban them off the entire platform for disagreeing".

I agree with you on your points here, but to play devils advocate: you take a shit with your restroom door closed and lock the front door of your home when you go to sleep at the end of the day. So don't act the hypocrite when you see communities prefer to lock their front doors to you.

I don't really see how those are the same. Locking doors is due to physical issues. No harm can come from words.

I have kicked plenty of annoying asshole from my house, the guy coming door to door to sell horseshit I tell to get lost, why not annoying assholes on the internet?

Sounds like you’re with the oppressors.

I'm on the side of allowing discussion so that people can understand each other and not get stuck in polarizing echochambers.
