  • I mean, yeah?

    Heavily moderated ultra safe space communities are free to keep to themselves and a small pool of other similar instances.

    You can’t expect a small general purpose instance to police their users with an iron fist wherever they go.

    The tankies have their little corner. I assume the Nazis have theirs.

    The fediverse was never a way to link everybody, because frankly, not everybody wants to be linked to everyone else. That’s how you end up with Facebook…

    The only thing really missing from Lemmy is a way to block all comments from users from a blocked instance, where at the moment I can only block their communities.

    Edit: I think it’s further complicated by the lack of a real way to do an IP ban. There’s a lot to be said for that tool, and because the fediverse doesn’t really pass that info around (and nor should it), it’s hard to block problem users from other instances.
