Comment on We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general

  Why don’t you just start your own? You can defederate any instance you want.

  I’m on lemm.ee but I’ve personally blocked communities I’ve found to be toxic, some of them were on lemmygrad. I see very little tankie shit. Took me like 5 minutes.

    People half-joke that coming to Fediverse is easy, all you need to do is select a provider like you do with e-mail.

    This omits the part where you have to block dozens of communities because they shill for genocidal regimes and you can’t block them and their users wholesale using instances. You also have to be on a lookout for trolls that coordinate on those instances and use alts from other instances. If you aren’t careful enough your experience might be akin to a conspiracy Facebook group but obviously it’s users fault.

    Mastodon doesn’t have this issue despite using same Activity Pub framework.

    Kbin doesn’t have it.

    It’s Lemmy developers and instances that somehow ended up with staggering amount of tankie trolls, to the extent that exceeds even alt-right trolls on Reddit.

      I had to block so much fucking celebrity, right wing, sports, etc bullshit on Reddit. It’s literally the same issue just different genres of communities. I probably had 100+ subreddits blocked in Apollo.
