lemmy.dbzer0.com - Anarchists who hate tankies and any rules except their own, which are different and therefore better
I mean. The only real rules we have mostly surround don’t be a dick and the bare minimum to manage a public forum. If you can’t really pass that test then you weren’t welcome in the first place.
Lemmy is what you make of it. You have to put effort into tuning your subscribed communities, blocklists, etc. There is no algorithm to filter the chaff for you.

No I’m all for users managing their own experience. And to that end what I’d like to see is the ability for users to ban whole instances. What I don’t like is instances blocking other instances because of some vague online drama or ideological differences. Like Beehaw blocking lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works as if creating an account on most of the Beehaw-approved instances was very hard. This kind of admin overreach is what is putting me off from investing in Lemmy in general.
(I get blocking instances that distribute very illegal stuff though)
