You can export your settings, remove everything unrelated to blocks, and share it. Then other users can import the json file and it will be added to their existing blocklist.
Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse

You can safely assume that anything on .ml or lemmygrad is. Just don’t subscribe to them. I can give you a block list that encompasses most of the ones who don’t stay nicely in .ml land. We should have shareable block lists like BlueSky to get new users up and running quickly. I hope that PieFed eventually does some stuff like this.

Good hint, but there needs to be an online registry of them where you can subscribe to them and get updates automatically when they change. This is how Bluesky works and it works very well.

Defederations and bans essentially work like a shared blocklist for all users on that instance. Plus you get a local feed with other users who have similar interests, and blocked users/instances don’t use local server resources.
Subscribing to a blocklist seems risky, because it’s likely that many users would subscribe to a single, popular blocklist. Then it would become a centralisedpoint of control which can silence people across much of the network.
realitista@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Yes, but I’d rather be able to control it myself than try to find a whole instance that perfectly matches my needs.
DSN9@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Lemmy.ml is?!? That’s who I signed up for though. I like the privacy stuff. So which instance is politically neutral but technically aligned, pirate party, self hosting etc?
realitista@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Yes Lemmy.ml is the most popular of the tankie instances. They will ban you, remove your posts, etc in most major communities if you say anything negative about CCCP, Russia, Communism, etc.
I can recommend lemmus.org as a very fast and efficient instance. Remember, you don’t have to have an account on the instance who’s communities you want to access. You can access communities on all instances from any instance. So the policies of your home instance don’t really affect you much. They only affect the communities hosted there.

Why is Lemmy.ml the most popular tankie instance? I’ve been played by Poo bear, interesting. Thanks I will switch.

I can 2nd lemmus.org, it’s pretty chill over here. The admin has blocked the creation of new communities for the time being however, so if you want to start a new comm you’re better off looking elsewhere.
realitista@lemmus.org 2 weeks ago
Yeah I look to bigger instances to host communities I create and smaller ones to host my account for speed.

politically neutral <> pirate party
Pick one
DSN9@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Not dominated by Chinese, Russian nor Western state actors. That’s all I’m asking for. Where truth isn’t censored.

Where truth isn’t censored
Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances, but at least on yours, you’ll be able to enjoy free speech.
frongt@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I’ve been pretty happy here on lemmy.zip. We haven’t defederated from the tankie instances so you still see their content sometimes, but you can always filter them yourself. Same with the zionists on lemmy.world.

If you’re concerned about privacy, you should probably know that a lot in the fediverse is very open by design so that other instances can communicate effectively.
That’s why everyone can see what you upvote/downvote, even if Lemmy itself doesn’t show this to you in its UI.

The difference is that I don’t get banned/censored on western instances for criticizing Trump or US military interventions.

You don't get banned on hex, grad, or ml for it either, either. People should really check the mod logs a few times daily.

I’ve gotten banned and censored from communities there for saying that Ukraine should fight back against Russia.

Removed Comment He’s also either blackmailed or employed by china (multiple visits including his honeymoon, where he spent the night not with his wife but in the room with a number of school kids that he also brought with him… On his honeymoon) by NihilsineNefas @slrpnk.net reason: Misinformation
mod Removed Comment There are lots of countries, including all the western countries where fewer people answered affirmatively to that question, where people are far more free to express their opinions than in China, though. The most obvious reason being that the majority of the world’s countries do not have a Great Firewall. This is what shows that there is a bias in the Chinese answers – or possibly a bias the other way in the western ones, but either way it means the results are not meaningfully comparable. edit: > What’s happening is that working class speech is relatively free, while capitalist and corporate speech is not. That’s why the vast majority say they have freedom of speech, while we know the state censors private, capitalist speech. “I don’t want to work the 996 work week” is the epitome of working class speech, whereas supporting it is corporate speech. China chose to censor it. by turdas @suppo.fi reason: misinformation
