I'm a mod from r/TheArmedGayAgenda subreddit it's for lgbt+ firearms owners, we're working on our own lemmy instance but I was curious if we'd be welcome setting up a community here?

Your post doesn't have any down vote. It says a lot !

Welcome to the fediverse !

Downvotes are disabled on this (lemmy.blahaj.zone) instance. 😉

That said… I’m personally quite anti-gun, but I accept there are plenty of queerfolk who feel differently. Hopefully Lemmy will soon allow users to mute specific communities so I won’t see this group’s content in my Local feed. But my dislike doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a safe and welcoming place for their discussions, so I still wouldn’t downvote this even if I could. 🙂

You can block the community once it's created and you'll never see it again. Which is what I'll be doing, since I have no desire to see the promotion of murder weapons or even more usdefaultism in my feed.

Oh thanks! I mistakenly thought that feature wasn’t available, I must have gotten it mixed up with something else. I’ll take advantage of that, too.

You might have mixed it up with instance blocking on a user level. That's what's not possible atm.

You can't block a whole instance yet, may be what you're thinking of.

Yep, same. I'm anti gun myself, but this is a space for queer folk, and if other queer folk want to talk guns, there is space for them to do so

I don’t like guns either but as long as they promote safe storage, training, and good safety then cool
