Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

Defederation is the more proper tool to use. Individual user blocking is not effective.

My instance has downvotes disabled. Only upvotes matter. So, at least, I don’t see destructive voting…
And as long, as I don’t post in their communities, they can’t silence me and have to deal with my view differently than just by removing it…

Hexbear doesn’t have downvotes either actually. That seems to be the main reason they brigade.
