Ick, keep my Twitter-like services and Reddit-like services apart lol. And unless I’m compelled with a strong real life reason, it’s Fediverse socials or bust for me going forward, I think.

You’re certainly welcome to build your own instance and choose who and who not to federate with, but if lemmygrad folks specifically are who you’re trying to avoid, beehaw might be a good spot for you.

Well, you’re in luck, that is exactly how things are.

There aren’t really as many leftist posts on lemmy.ml from what I can see, but it’s federated with lemmygrad.ml, so if your account is on lemmy.ml you see all the posts from there as well. And because they’re federated, lemmygrad users can comment on anything on lemmy.ml, so that’s where you will see viewpoints come in that you may not agree with in news/politics/economics related threads. I don’t know if kbin.social has its instances whitelist & blacklist published anywhere, but there’s a pretty good chance you’d know by now if it federated with lemmygrad. You’re likely still browsing posts and comment threads on lemmy.ml but aren’t seeing comments from the lemmygrad users in those threads.

True, I was wondering if maybe a nihilist might be in favor of this, but ultimately decided most nihilists probably wouldn’t care either way.

A concrete example of something like this happening in practice was ancient leaders being buried with their wives, slaves, etc., presumably so they would all go to the after life together or whatever. Of course we naturally find this practice abhorrent even though it was considered perfectly normal at the time 🤷

I’m having trouble imagining anybody other than a sociopath wanting the whole world to end when they do…

Are you talking about in a browser or an app? I just started seeing it pop up in a toast notification occasionally in Jerboa this afternoon. It wouldn’t surprise me if it has to do with server load issues.
