Yep. To a certain extent I don’t care what your political views are, but if you’re always trolling and putting them up in my face. And have no integrity rules wise, I’m blocking.

Blocked instance... They can figure their stuff out without me because I don't want anything to do with them.

no, I'm subbed to many communities on .ml

That instance got blocked from me a while ago together with Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

I have fomo so I don't block anything. I'll downvote and move on if I see something that I feel needs a downvote

yup, blocked that instance.

it's controlled by one or a very small group of people, and none of the rules are followed.

I have the instance blocked. Nice thing about Lemmy, you can vote with your attention. When toxic bubbles pop up, you can ignore them en masse. Any collateral blocking doesn’t bother me. [insert Nazi party meme]

Blocked the instance along with hexbear. So I think it would be good to drain the good communities from them if you can.

Personally, I don't. I get from your story that you seem to have been abusively banned, and from the comments that it doesn't seem like an isolate case. But while that might deter me from making an account there, or at most from having a community hosted there, it's not like anything bad comes to me from merely interacting with .ml content. The only servers worth blocking in my opinion are those full of spammers, or of content I'd personally hate to see in any situation.

I try to share links to other instance’s communities if there’s similar ones that aren’t drastically smaller. This is because it’s very easy to be banned on many ml communities as has been documented and posted many times

I'm more of an anarchist and I've not had issues with hexbear or .ml, though I don't block lemmygrad I'm not subbed to most of their communities mostly because sectarianism bothers me.

I feel like I always have to check if I'm posting on something that's on .world because even relatively mild off-color humor can get removed as "incivility" if it rubs a mod the wrong way.

I refrain from participating in and even from looking at any community that generates anxiety and/or anger, or that encourage or don't oppose what I consider destructive or hostile behaviors. I consider time too precious to waste mine with the kind of persons who enjoy those things.

It is not related to any specific place, though. It's mostly a question of the persons participating and of the moderators.

If you move sim racing, would you mind replying to me to let me know? I follow the current one just cause I think sim racing is neat. If it gets moved I'd love to follow the new one

(Totally fine if that's too much work :)

Lemmy.ml is the only instance block I have, after seeing too many illiberal shit takes, bad faith arguments and socialist astroturf posts.

My instance quickly defederated from HexBear and LemmyGrad which is just fine by me, it's helpful most of the bad eggs are concentrated in just a few places.

Yes, except a few selected communities I completely avoid interacting with lemmy.ml

Blocked the whole thing on my instance.

I don’t refrain from participating in Lemmy.ml community unless the mods of that community act like the admins do. The majority of users aren’t my issue with Lemmy.ml at least on the non political communities, it’s the admin’s suppression of opposition

Also blocked it.

I block all .ml communities when I see them pop up. I'm somewhere between 200-300 blocked communities at the moment (not exclusively .ml though).

Yes. I'll read the content, but I try to avoid interacting.

~~Mind you, db0 himself is a tankie, although he doesn't seem to insist on imposing that on the users or communities on his instance.~~

EDIT: I stand corrected. Apologies to db0 for lumping him in with that crowd.
