Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn't give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it's about de-platforming fascists.
it showed up on my feed against my will and I dislike spreading fascism and genocide apologism.
a better question is, why are you okay with it?
I’m not ok with it.
so what does it help if I block it? I can block it out, that doesn't solve anything, it will still be there.
They'll still be there even if defederated.
but not accessible from this instance.
I mean, I guess I can't argue with that.
I mean, I have no idea why you are arguing in the first place, you are basically arguing against the de-platforming of fascists.
You were able to discern all that from me clarifying that they'd still exist even if your instance members didn't see them?
is this elementary school math? do I need to show my work here?
Clearly, because my comment was made not being sure you knew what defederation entailed. Then I agreed with you, and you're still frothing.
Some of their stuff finally hit my feed. I’ve blocked them on my instance. I take what I said back.
I mean, even if programming.dev defederates with it, it'll still be there...
one less platform to spread
that literally doesn't mean anything
once again, literally doesn't mean anything, I have no idea what you mean
you make it sound like I blocked you I didn't.

Just to be clear I am in no way comparing myself to the people in the links I am not delusional, I am just pointing how incredibly stupid what you said is.
It's not "I don't like it", it's fascists, bit of a difference, also:

you can't be a bit "cookoo" for Russia stuff and not be a fascists at the same time.
that's like being a big fan of Hitler while not being a fucking nazi.
How this was shown to you against your will? You had blocked it and it was shown anyway? How would lemmy know what's every users will?
before I blocked it, obviously
So just now you have "told" lemmy what is your will. Not before
???
You told it was shown against your will, but you hadn't stated your will to the platform
