If instance A and B block each other, can a user on instance C still see all the posts from B and A?

What worries me is the drop in posts if things fracture.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Yep. That's one reason I like the instance I'm on - I can basically see everything, and just block the stuff I don't want to see.

Lemmy.today is one of the most drama-free instances.

Just go and explore whatever of Lemmy you want.

Fighting trolls should not be done by invalidating neopronouns, speak to anyone that uses neopronouns and they'll likely tell you that it quickly cascades into witch hunting.

Is it still invalidating when someone using neopronouns is doing so disingenuously?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Again, invalidating neopronouns is a cascading issue that results in witch-hunting and should be avoided.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.

It is a very tricky slope. It's best to never compromise on neopronoun usage even with suspected trolls, they can be discredited without erasing the pronouns.
