Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!!

If you want a place where admins are not allowed to block communities and instead leave moderation of all but the most egregious, illegal content, up to individuals, there are places like that already in X and Threads.

This is the fediverse, where admins are expected to look after their members. If they don’t, the members will leave. I don’t want to block every toxic user or instance on my own - I already spend too much time blocking normies from lemmy.world.

Let me know how I can curate my feed by blocking whole instances over at X et al.

Also let me know where the fediverse defines “looking after” the same way you do. And I reiterate, use your imagination as to what tools could be made available to make blocking easier and more efficient for the users.

Maybe you should block lemmy.world if you have such issues with normies. It’s also fascinating that you consider “normies” something to be blocked, and it hints at the problem I’m talking about. I’ve seen many users (but still a very small minority) on Mastodon having similar attitudes where they just want to block everyone that doesn’t agree with every single opinion they hold, and preferably at the instance level, and even block instances that doesn’t block those instances. That is problematic both for the fediverse itself, for the people who put themselves in those artificial filter bubbles, and for the people outside of their filter bubble who don’t get to take part of their opinions.

  “looking after” is defined on a case by case basis, by instance admins. Anyway, I’m sorry about my normie comment. I don’t mean to sound so intolerant, so I can’t blame you from extrapolating. But I’m very on board with admins blocking entire instances if they’ve shown to have inadequate moderation. For everything else, there’s ⛔

    It was a rhetorical question, since X doesn’t have instances. But it’s good to see that people over there have access to block lists on a user level. Fedi should have that too, or something similar.
    
    Whats your opinion on an instance blocking another instance simply for not blocking a third instance?
