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.

    Well, I had to see a ukrainians-are-nazis meme on my timeline and that’s not something I can just ignore. If I can’t find a way to get rid of that type of vomit I can’t continue using this platform. Remaining neutral always favors the oppressor.

      Why are you browsing All then?

      I agree with your post and want the ability to block instances for the same reason, but I just try to block all political communities and then use Subscribed and Local.

      All is unfiltered by definition.

        He wants to remove sources that produce bullshit, not be part of a body that removes anything that hurts the sensibility.

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

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

      that was probably commies rather than the alt right

      they also have a tendency to call folks race traitors and deny genocides

      Join one of the many instances than block them then. I agree that lemmygrad is full of horrible people ever since the /r/genzedong migration there.
