Content curation in the Fediverse is better! (lemmy.ca)

I just had my first experience blocking an instance, and it made my realize now nice the lemmy content curation experience is vs the centralized model.

Recently I started noticing a lot of posts from that I just found annoying. There was nothing inherently wrong with them, they just came from a culture I don't understand and so I found them cringey. Since they all came from one community, realized most of them come from the same instance. I just added that instance to my blocklist and the problem is solved!

Now think about in the centralized model. I would be forced to either just accept that these posts are in my timeline, or block each community and user individually. The instance gave me an easy way to manage my content.

I also appreciate that instances can manage the blocking for their users. So the most horrible stuff I don't even see. But it also preserves free speech, as those users who want to say horrible things can do so in their own instance, and most people will just block it.

Anyway, just impressed again by the fediverse!

Freedom of speech is an “alt-right” talking point?!?!?!

They've literally been banging the freeze-peach button constantly. Every single time there's consequences for their actions for a decade or two now. Where have you been?

I hear they drink a lot of water too. I think we should give up water to own the nazi’s.

It's not my concern if you decide to continue self-sabotaging. That's on you. You're definitely not helping yourself and not fostering any actual discussion that's for sure. You must be an Anarchist ironically. Just out for chaos. And not for Mutual Aid and understanding.

Insult me all you want. You didn’t change my mind.

Ps. Look at the rest of the discussions I am having with people. It seems the tone of this particular thread in the conversation is destined for toxicity because you’re not ready to admit the ugly truth about your perspective.

You're the only one insulting yourself. The toxicity is heavily attached to you. A lot of the rest of us are having a fine conversation.
