Yea, lemmy is quite mean. I simply unsubscribed to the world news and politics communities. Now, my feed is just filled with cute posts like urs'. Whenever I want to see the talked about news story of the day, I just head on to "All" under "Active".

OH ALSO! Try to block the tankie communities/servers. They're the worst in this regard.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 20 points 7 months ago

how to access this power im constantly blocking more users and communities and still they find me 😖

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'm sorry u have to do this :(

Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer to this.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 22 points 7 months ago

it’s chill! it’s probably simply because i am just far too funny and hot and sexy and beautiful tbh everyone feels intimidated by my presence 😜

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

Join lemmy.cafe

It blocks all 3 major tankie instances. Including lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, and lemmy.ml

Edit: oh you are already on lemmy.cafe

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Is lemmy.ml a tankie instance? I honestly missed this.

Lead Lemmy Developer, Dessalines, denying the Tiananmen Square Massacre and praising the Uyghur Genocide

https://sh.itjust.works/post/8419342

https://web.archive.org/web/20230626055233/https://old.reddit.com/r/communism/comments/cqgztr/fuck_the_white_supremacist_reddit_admins_want_me/

Dessalines AKA "parentis_shotgun" on Reddit, is the main Lemmy dev, also the admin of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml.

[-] Thade780@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Holy shit, I didn't know!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 6 points 7 months ago

It is kind of interesting from a historical perspective that the massacre part of Tiananmen Square didn't happen in the Square. Like most police actions from fascist states, it was squads of pigs chasing down protesters after they broke and ran and beating them to death or disappearing them when they're cut off from support.

And, of course, the crowd had to break and run. They weren't armed, and couldn't actually resist riot cops, much less the army.

Yes and no

Some of the mods/admins are tankies, but it’s a popular instance so many users aren’t tankies. Some are tho.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Yes, it used to be obvious from the mod log but they are doing something sketchy with it these days.

[-] TheChooseUwU@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 7 months ago

This is why is joined blahaj.zone, people are nice.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 18 points 7 months ago

you haven't been here long have you

[-] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 7 months ago

I mean, if you check their history, they actually haven't been here long.

But I have, and I can confirm, people are nice.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 7 months ago

do you remember the post from this sub that hit the all feed yesterday?

my inbox still hasn't recovered.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 months ago

Which was that? blahaj.zone has been pretty chill in my experience.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

It's all relative. Maybe pretty chill as compared to reddit. I still get people being weirdly hostile whenever I say anything remotely controversial, no matter how nice I am about it.

Mean people are everywhere, and the separation of internet communication makes it easy to be cruel. Wave them off and and celebrate the folks who treat others well.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 18 points 7 months ago

thank u internet stranger griddy dances away

[-] GrymEdm@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

What's amusing is that I just noticed now that you're the person who gave me the benefit of the doubt and defended me earlier. I seriously did not know that when I posted this, but after you replied here I recognized the name. Cheers friend.

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 22 points 7 months ago

holy shit lol i just noticed too. i wish lemmy had a follow feature or just a little star sticker i can put to remind myself “yo this chap is fresh” ⭐️

shoutout to small community and being hella cool people 🥂

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Have you tried being gay? Much nicer to that here

If you have and it doesn’t work then try not being gay

One of those is bound to work

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

Being gay is a pain in the ass

[-] FraidyBear@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

ba-dum-tss

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 23 points 7 months ago

You come to the internet to relax, you dumb dumb. We come here to scream at eachother for no reason.

We're building character, you'll need to be hardened for the upcoming battles.

lol I fled here from 9gag. Either y'all are extremely nice, or I have been suffering from Stockholm syndrome for the last decade. :')

Probably both

No, don't you understand that you are an imperialist and you should feel bad about it?

[-] spujb@lemmy.cafe 13 points 7 months ago

i wont lie that’s a new accusation to me lol

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 7 points 7 months ago

Imperialists never admit they're imperialists!

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I try my best to not be mean even when i strongly disagree with someone. Unless they are genuinely fascist, then it is what it is

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

We're only mean to people who don't touch themselves. 😇

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

You are loved and valid. Lemmed and Lemmid.

[-] nl4real@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, JERRY.

[-] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 7 months ago

I only see meanness in political posts, and some instances like hexbear (the_dunk_tank can get pretty toxic)

I have two lemmy apps, one that I have set up to block locally, and one with none of those blocks in place. You should try keyword filtering and instance blocking. You should add election, trump, biden, elon, musk, vote, war as your blocks (its what I use)

When I feel argumentative or simply don’t want to have posts hidden I go on the app with no instance blocks or keyword filters

When I want good news I use the one with my filters
