@DI_Ukraine, meanwhile, has warned Moscow residents about an increase in drone attacks. The air defense of the Russian capital is unable to protect its citizens in the ongoing war, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Andrii Yusov, told the Kyiv Post.

"The concept of security is becoming increasingly distant from the citizens of Moscow," he added.

I've stopped recommending Lemmy to friends because of those two instances

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can always recommend they join, but block those two instances. Every place on the internet has trolls to ignore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can't block instances, or at least if you can, I haven't figured out how to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Kbin, Sync, Thunder, etc. all have various levels of blocking (e.g. keywords, user, community, instance, etc.)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

You can on kbin and I thought some of the lemmy apps were adding that feature.

Seriously, they sometimes make me regret making an account here. It's tiring.

Yeah going to. They’re already brigading me with downvotes because they can’t handle opposition lol.

Right? Literally the entire point of decentralization.

Feels like half my experience on Lemmy is blocking "communities" from those instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad, explodingheads... constant propaganda, low quality political and even fully racist memes with tons of upvotes polluting my feed. It's not enjoyable and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it even for me, let alone my less tech savvy friends.

I get federation, decentralized social media, etc. I love the idea. Would be amazing to socialize without a corporation looking over my shoulder. But seriously those instances and their propaganda have pretty much killed my excitement about it.

... you only have to set up those preferences once, friend. Your argument is like saying you don't want to eat anymore because picking up food with your hand is tiresome. 😅

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

I can set my preferences once or a million times and Lemmy will still be ruined by propaganda

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Try making a post in your instance asking your admins to defederate from those places, if they refuse for some reason, pack your bags to a different instance that will. That's the beauty of federation ^^
