Oh no no no. Sorry, it was probably my fault since english is not my native language. I was referring to theirs instances! in your example, the neo-nazis instances.

In other words, I was trying to say that I agree with instances (like beehaw) being able to block what they consider to be toxic instances, but I’m against removing instances from the lemmy fediverse if that’s even possible. Like, removing them from the network.

Sorry, I didn’t understood what you meant. Especially the parenthesis part.

Take my reply with a grain of salt because I’m also very new to this. From what I understood, although you can create instances and interact with everyone, other instances can choose to cut ties (blocking) with your instance. For example, beehaw blocked lemmygrad.ml which can be seen at https://beehaw.org/instances (on the bottom of this page there’s a link in “Instances”). So, if your Lemmy account is on Beehaw, you won’t be seeing lemmygrad.ml posts. I don’t even know if it’s possible to comment on them (maybe someone can elaborate on this).

I wish the fediverse is able to contain all the ideas, all the political positions and that disconnecting/blocking an instance is only used for behaviors like spamming. Not giving every political stance the opportunity to be a part of the same world fuels extremists.

Beehaw and other instances can kick all the users with far-right beliefs. That’s fair. But Lemmy users shouldn’t be blocked to listen to or even interact with them, in their own instances, if they wanted. Don’t help creating political ghettos.

Olá. O outro lado do rio é sempre relativo :)

It’s going pretty good because I think I’m finally making some progress towards being more focused. Although I need to confess that was pretty thrilled with the onboarding on lemmy and checked it a lot during the weekend.

Apart from that I’m cutting ties with general stuff and news and focusing on: books (reading The Stranger right now), one single magazine about current issues in the world, hearing good music and starting to play an old RPG after great advice I received on c/gaming. I’ll workout after work and then start a campaign.

Lisbon, Portugal.

Me too.

I think that even if they don’t close old reddit now, it will be on the horizon, so I might as well build a new home here. This message-board-look-a-like is jus what I was looking for and not wanting to sound elitist, I find it a good deterrent for the tik-tok crowd and other “follow the person not the subject” networks.

Hey thank you very much! Didn’t knew that could make multiple choices. It’s not obvious at all. Now I ctrl+ choosed english, undetermined and my native language and can see everything! Thank you very much for your support.

Thanks. I’ve checked and undetermined is enabled.
