I learned just recently that dbzer0 has a great piracy community that is blocked by lemmy.world . I’m not saying I’m looking to switch instances or anything, but it did get me wondering what else might be blocked by my instance that I wasn’t previously aware of.
While we’re at it, I’m curious what communities might notably be blocked on other instances as well. So we might as well just make this a question about what might be blocked by any particular instance, not just my instance.
So, what’s blocked on some instances that folks might not have realized is blocked?
I think lw blocks lemm.ee/c/conservative but whether or not that’s a good sub is up to you.
Just had a look around. On the recent article about immigration, the second highest comment is a progressive questioning the education level of conservatives. So the block is not completely effective.
Personally I think it’s a terrible idea for people to be siloing themselves into bubbles where everyone agrees with them. In a democratic political system this cannot end well.
I don’t think it’s actually trying to block progressives from commenting. They’re trying to be an anti-silo.
Sounds great! As a moderate I would fit right in! Oh - except I’m not allowed to.
PS: to be clear, I mean I can’t do it with this account because it’s not federated AFAICT.
What do you mean? Did you get banned? The only ban I see on the modlog is you get banned from /Europe for racism.
Indeed, and I get the feeling that the point of your comment is not to ask any question but rather to propagate that smear even though you probably haven’t even looked into whether or not it was justified.
Or perhaps you have, and you can tell me (us) why it was?
Tbh, I think those exact mods banned me for the exact same thing. I haven’t gone looking.
Interesting. Sorry for jumping to conclusions! I had a private exchange with the mod in which every reasonable thing I said just made him more convinced that I was secretly a fascist. A pretty disturbing experience. I think we need to take back that community, not sure how to go about it though.
