Probably the easiest boycott you could do, let's do it Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

Yeah, it's genuinely a problem when you just want to not see entire instances based on the userbase they culminate. I wish blocking instances would actually block the users associated with it, but alas.

I've taken to blocking everyone @lemmy.ml on sight since every time I see them it's some vitriolic rant about how trans people are class traitors or some other weird shit I don't wanna see, but it is a bit of extra effort and annoyance each time a new one pops up.

Almost every stupid, nonsensical and insane take I've seen comes from .ml users. I don't get how so many of them come up with the things they do.

Ways to block Lemmy.ml:

  1. on base Lemmy, you basically cannot - for whatever reason, the devs do not seem to consider this a "priority"?:-P
  2. the Sync or Connect apps let you do this though
  3. PieFed allows you to block all the users from any instance that you choose, without needing admin support; PieFed also has fantastic features such as hashtags and categories of communities, though notably its base UI is significantly less advanced than Lemmy's, e.g. it lacks user tagging (e.g. @openstars@piefed.social does nothing)
  4. the only instances that have defederated from the big 3 are lemmy.cafe and dubvee.org (also quokk.au but that has a single admin and people report not being able to join it)
