Or do people think that Lemmy is a neutral, open-minded, safe community? Not like evil Reddit.

EDIT: Talking about mainstream instances like ml or world.

See examples of violent comments towards me and instead of mods removing their comments, they removed mine.

The comment that the all caps person was replying to was me saying that there are non-human targets. Users were assuming I want to kill people and turns out they are the ones that want to kill.

    i don’t get news from here either. i just don’t want to be blind to what’s going on. i’ve already blocked ml, but i’m glad i know it and its users exist and what they’re like. i wouldn’t spend my weekends in conservative spaces, but i’m not opposed to having conversations with or being around conservative people. good to have perspective for why people are the way they are instead of just the headlines read and then grouping people into buckets.

      blocking instances is a bit tricky as I found out. Blocking users removes posts and replies from the users you block and blocking communities filters them and their posts and such from out of your feed. When you block instances you are blocking all communities and users of that instance. I wish the blocking for instances would allow you to choose users or communities or both.
