browsing through All has so much pro-fascist posts coming from lemmygrad that it drowns out all the other instances. I'm surprised they're even federated by default but we should have an option to block instances from All if lemmy is deadset on federating with them just because they are fascists with a red and yellow flag...

(before the Tankies start posting about how they aren't pro-fascism "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy" which all describe the Z movement in Russia they gleefully support in multiple posts)

Lmao, that's the funniest thing i read all day.

Not to mention you can do it. Click on settings, there will be a tab "blockades". Write what you want and voila you won't have to rack your brain ever again with concepts that make your imperialist programmed brain too uncomfortable.

I would recommend getting back to reddit though.

honestly, this is a leftist space, not one with people who source wikipedia for political opinions

The easiest solution for now is to join us at beehaw.org or our friends at sopuli.xyz. We block lemmygrad and put much care in moderation

Seems to me this is the whole point of having a decentralized platform. Instead of people moaning how they don't agree with the way a particular instance is run, they can join another instance or run their own. This post is about @nxlemmy@lemmy.ml being upset that people see things differently from them, and trying to police that.

Nothing stops you from running your own instance and federating with whatever instances you want from it.

[–] Amicchan@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They think that Lemmygrad and Russia are "fascist" for supporting denazification in Ukraine.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

This is your brain on western propaganda.

Fascism is (...) which all describe the usa, which has oppressed most of us all our lives long. Anyone who works against the usa works against Fascism.

Yeah, I just browsed all for the first time in a while, and its just lemmygrad. First post is about how Russia is "liberating" Ukraine. Literal fascists.

Oh god here we go again. Calling Russia, a country that just wants it's borders left alone a fascist. Meanwhile calling NATO, a organization from the same country that filled Ukraine with Nazis, wholesome democratic fighters.

[–] nxlemmy@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

just wants its borders left alone

so it invades another country, and promotes insane nationalism where supporters spray paint their Zwastika on homes of people who are against the war... Russia's ruled by a government that made it illegal to be gay in public, essentially decriminalizes domestic abuse against women, and funds far right nationalist around the world (like the U.S. did to ruin almost every Latin American country in the past). If you had any friends living in Russia you'd know its currently ruled by dictator who promotes far right christian nationalism even if you didn't believe all the "CIA propaganda" from western outlets.

Russias enemy is a country that flies to the other side of the globe to oppress and murder. No matter how bad russia is, usa is 10x worse.

[–] lisko@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your comment is factually incorrect... Russia has been expanding its borders for a long time and Ukraine wasn't the first violation. There is a war now because Russia violated Ukraine's borders.

Ukraine is also not full of Nazis. Some exist, but they are few in number. Russia has more crazy right wing fascist types than Ukraine does and the Russian government actively encourages this. Putin is a type of right wing nationalists dictator.

they also have a community dedicated to brigading other websites which seems like it should violate TOS if it werent for all the stars on their instance it would be difficult to tell them apart from a MAGA forum

[–] m532@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Violate which TOS? Reddit TOS? This is lemmy.

Yes please! I have nothing against Lemmygrad, but I also don't want them to overwhelm everything else from my All feed. Please let us block entire instances, not just communities.

I think the point is that this shouldn't be necessary. Individual users should be able to filter out entire instances without having to jump to an entirely new account.

(before the Tankies start posting about how they aren’t pro-fascism “Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy” which all describe the Z movement in Russia they gleefully support in multiple posts)

This would also describe America.

So unless you want to ban all liberals and supporters of America (which would mean you) you need to tighten your funtionally useless definition of fascism. You should start by reading an actual book and learning the history of fascism.

When you misuse the word fascism to describe things that are not fascism you mis-educate huge wide swathes of people on what fascism actually is. In doing so you HELP actual fascists rehabilitate their ideology. You are helping fascists by calling something that is not fascism, fascism.

You are an even worse one than the others...

where did you come from?

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

At least for now, there are really just a small number of communities on lemmygrad that contain the most obnoxious material. I found that it worked to block:

[–] 10_0@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago (33 children)

Tbh this is basically my problem, too much political content, I've blocked all the sublemmies I can but seeing that the default user experience isn't this streamlined is a big problem I have for not recommending Lemmy to anyone.

I see it as a divide between people who want to enjoy tech/privacy version of Reddit, and people who want it to be Twitter but their own tribe, this goes for Wolfballs, and Lemmygrad.
