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.
how to access this power im constantly blocking more users and communities and still they find me 😖
I’m sorry u have to do this :(
Unfortunately, I don’t have a good answer to this.
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 😜
Lol I can tell from ur post history. U’r exactly the type of person I go head over heels for irl lmao

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
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
Dessalines AKA “parentis_shotgun” on Reddit, is the main Lemmy dev, also the admin of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml.
Holy shit, I didn’t know!
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.
Saying that he praised a genocide is very dishonest. If I claimed people in the US were forced to go to universities, where they are forcibly sterilized, beaten and indoctrinated, you wouldn’t be praising atrocities if you rejected that claim and praised universities for the good they actually do for society.
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.
Yes, it used to be obvious from the mod log but they are doing something sketchy with it these days.
This is why is joined blahaj.zone, people are nice.
you haven’t been here long have you
I mean, if you check their history, they actually haven’t been here long.
But I have, and I can confirm, people are nice.
do you remember the post from this sub that hit the all feed yesterday?
my inbox still hasn’t recovered.
Which was that? blahaj.zone has been pretty chill in my experience.
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.
thank u internet stranger griddy dances away
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.
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 🥂
I am not now nor have I ever been mean and I will fight anyone who says otherwise!!!
(ง ͠ಥ_ಥ)ง
love u mwah blows kiss
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
Being gay is a pain in the ass
ba-dum-tss
You come to the internet to relax, you dumb dumb. We come here to scream at eachother for no reason.
shit my bad
aaaaaa
like that
You did well! Good job :)
thank you
♥️
We’re building character, you’ll need to be hardened for the upcoming battles.
Much love, Signed Banjo the Savage.
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
oh shit, people actually used that site? my condolences
thanks. honestly 15 years ago it was a nice place… now not so much
Aw im sorry the other kids were being mean. Heres a cuppa tea to make it better 🫖🍵
ew rude comment alert boring boring normie alert
Sorry, i wasnt trying to be rude. Just a playful response to what i thought was a playful post.
I haven’t been a kid for a while now, but a cuppa tea does sound quite nice.
Yeah lol, i think it was the photo that made my brain think of kids on a playground.
Hope i didnt offend, i meant to be playful not rude.
All good. No offense was taken, my comment was also meant to be playful. Like, damn a cup of tea as a break from adulting would be amazing lol.
For real lol if only tea breaks were as socially accepted as smoke breaks
No, don’t you understand that you are an imperialist and you should feel bad about it?
i wont lie that’s a new accusation to me lol
Imperialists never admit they’re imperialists!
We’re only mean to people who don’t touch themselves. 😇
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
You are loved and valid. Lemmed and Lemmid.
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, waras 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
