Who cares? We're not on lemmy.ml, are we?
Careful the steps you take from those kinds of thoughts, here. Lemmy is best when it is unified. A split down the middle, even worse, three ways could have drastic consequences for the sort of community, or even segmented communities that Lemmy could become if it schisms.
Lemmy could be a center-left haven for rational thought, or in three years it could be an extremely leftist community fighting an extremely right-wing community fighting a group that wants nothing to do with either, all cut off from eachother with non-political subs and the overall community suffering as a result.
Are you saying that everyone should have the same political opinions? I don't think so.
Each individual has the right to have their own opinions, and they have the right to express them, no matter how we might like them or not.
Blocking features exist for that reason, if something is too much for you to bear, block it and move on.
Like reddit?
Cool, where's the button to block lemmy.ml and lemmygrad?
I'd block lemmygrad, tbh.
I'm not blocking Lemmy.ml. They are worth a little more than one or two tankie mods. If it skews a little too far that direction, tho... maybe.
With any luck, the community itself will sway larger instances. Smaller ones... who cares?
If you want to block them as a server, go to a server that already does that, there are a few.
I tried. Can't join any of them. This was actually my 10th server I signed up for and it finally let me in. The rest mention a validation email that never comes.
