I just blocked the whole instance when they removed my comment pointing out that Al Jazeera might not be unbiased in the matters of Hamas vs Israel, because they are funded by Qatar who also shelter Hamas leaders.

And even Al Jazeera think Trump would be an even bigger fucking disaster for Palestine.

Wait, we can block whole instances ourselves? I think that might be my vest option.

Yeah, as long as you're on 0.19 I think, which most instances will be by now.

Thank you for this!

I use Sync, and I can but I don't know if it's a function of the app or of the Lemmy platform.

I use voyager. I will be looking more into this function. My original thinking was that I would have to switch over to an instance already blocking .ml or start my own.

I am just tired of people getting away with being explicitly pro-terrorism just because they tell other users they are trans, as if that made sociopathy and psychopathy OK.

It is indeed a feature on Voyager (hello fellow Voyager user!) and you can find it in the filter settings near the bottom.

Thanks for this! Just blocked them! I think I just solved 100% of the harassment issue I have been having with that instance.

Trust me, Lemmy is far more usable and tolerable with them blocked. I think you'll be much better off from now own, heh.

Idk how much i want to do this... ive been followed around by trolls for being vocal, but i wonder if it's not a good idea to know what their talking points are. Not to mention the possibility of good daith youngins being attracted to their stink needing to hear something not advantageous to hostile foreign powers.

Also i like linux memes. Lots of linux shit is on .ml bc of it supposedly being sooper extra privacy oriented.

Don't be thinking you can change them. Post something against groupthink and it just gets silently removed. There's no discussions to be had.

And I don't think any amount of blocking can get you away from Linux memes without just leaving Lemmy completely.

Haha u speak truth! I was blocked from world news.ml right quick. First day or two on lemmy. I was calling out shills for spreading russian/chinese talking points. Shame on me, i suppose!

To think i jumped ship from reddit to escape the bans from the same following the api changes and thought id find refuge here.

They go after leftist spaces in particular with the shit u have seen. They know what theyre doing. That's why i think the pushback is so necessary. SY what they will, truth is truth, even in the post-truth era. It must be echoed, bans and whines from shills and tankies be damned.
