    I’ve seen more than enough in your matrix chat with other admins to know you’re full of it.

    Also

    Don’t direct message me telling me to block your instance because you don’t want anymore down votes.

    Who tf do you think you are internet boy ? I don’t care that you are an admin, I don’t fucking answer to you.

    Crazy right ? Yes so far I’ve done that in reddit pretty good. I cut it out real quick. If I see any political word or name I mute it. Cause it will just keep on going. So reddit experience has gotten better bc of that.

    With lemmy I’m constantly blocking most communities. What’s weird though is I feel like I’ve already blocked certain communities and they keep popping back up.

    I also use a few lemmy clients. So idk if the blocks are synced and carry over to each app.

    From what I have seen, some apps do, and some do not. I think that is a factor for sure

    Yes, but it’s predominantly if not all news and politics or political ideological soap box posts or posts about defederation drama and instance infighting.

    Just after having used Lemmy for 3 years, all it really is, is a small platform, for people to create a space where they can freely be hateful and shitty and hostile to opposite political sides that they hate.

    It’s so they can experience feeling powerful over who they hate. In a sense, it’s their way of serving ‘justice’ keeping people out, defederating, is purposeful and habitual. It makes sense to me honestly.

    Keeping Lemmy small, it’s easier to control and to continue to be able to have a place where they hate who they hate.

    It’s annoying when ppl try to deny that.

    Just be honest about it. Be truthful, ppl appreciate honesty.

    Growing Lemmy would not be ideal, bc different people with all kinds of different perspectives AND INTERESTS THAT ISN’T TECH OR POLITICS would make them a minority. That’s purposefully being avoided.

    I found myself telling myself, “Go on reddit today, don’t go on lemmy. You need a break from all the extreme constant politics”

    I don’t engage in politics online at all for a while.

    But that’s all what is posted and talked about here. No one here even wants to have actual fun and be silly or have a good time enjoying themselves. What is the most irritating, is literally no one fucking engages if it isn’t political. That stuff gets ignored and down voted. This is a political place that is the issue.

    There’s no light hearted fun silly cool niche interesting happy or positive shit here. Everyone is angry and political and people are not interested in that.
