Yeah, blocked hexbear too.

Those people are absolutely fucking unhinged and do not engage in any sort of good faith argument.

After one round, I got name called, after round two asking for clarification, I just left.

Time is precious, the squirrels in my yard are more coherent than these chucklefucks.

Hell, even two crows would be better

I just block every site and user with that ending that I see. I’ve been banned on almost any of their sites anyway.

Lemmy .ml is partly why I switched to an instance which defederates them. The admin and mod behavior over there is gross. If it weren’t run by the Lemmy devs it would be widely blocked.

I feel sorry for you that this is how you spend your free time.

You know, the differing opinion isn’t so bad. It’s that they’re such pricks.

Lemmy.ml seems to just downvote different opinions in masse without responding with respect.

After a few attempts to engage respectfully and just getting negative interactions I just blocked them entirely.

This just made me realise my feed is just that bit cleaner and there’s so much less news, it’s actually quite calming.

I was against blocking them because i dont want to create an echochamber(and i still support this on an instance level) but after they banned me and just keep downvote bombing anyone whos not a fucking poo tin or whinnie boot licker i had to block them.

I tried to tolerate .ml because they’ve got some good linux and foss focused communities. Ultimately I decided it wasn’t worth it.

Thanks for the heads up, just added to my block list.

“Known propaganda outlets (like RT)”

Sorry but… What’s RT mean in this context? Rooster Teeth? I’ve got no clue.

I joined Lemmy in November. By New Years I had independently figured out what was wrong with .ml and its users.

The less of that garbage, the better.

Fuck Ukraine. Nazi state

Like it or not, we can shine a light and hope they see.

I am as libertarian (as opposed to authoritarian) as they come, and I still hope I (and others who share my sentiment) will be able to convince them the merits of a world with human rights, diplomacy, and freedom — that is not needlessly violent and forceful.

We can move past barbarism, but to do so we must define what comes next to those who have shut their hearts to the truth — especially to those who have spent too much time reliving the horrific violence of the 20th century.

I don’t need to boycott them, I don’t feel the need to block them. Everybody is within their rights to do so though, but I will keep slowly trying to win them over to the idea of a more kind and free world.

Creating Lemmy and the fediverse is of incredible value to humanity. They provided a timely medicine to the internet — a decentralized platform that is not controlled by an American corporation and ruled by algorithms. I don’t feel like it’s a lost cause to do my best.

I’m kinda still new here, so thanks for the info! I think I’ve figured out how to block the instance, but is there a guide on blocking or something or a way to check?
