Based on concerns from both the admin team and most users here, the lemmy.ml admin team decided to add wolfballs.com to our blocklist. There is just too much reactionary content that breaks almost all the rules we have here.

It’s natural for open instances like this one to develop blocklists organically, and so far we’ve only felt it necessary to block 2 instances. If there’s any concerns about other instances that we should keep an eye on, let us know.

    Its just like email. One person on gmail can email someone else on protonmail. A person on one lemmy server can subscribe to communities on other servers, and see posts and comments from users elsewhere.

    With email, you can also block email addresses who keep spamming you with things you don’t want to see, which is what we’ve done here.

      Is there a federation, social media platform, or some online community or wtv on the internet where representatives of both sides, left and right and maybe center etc, have civilized discourse and are at their best behavior? I mean is there a place where people with opposing views can co-exist and debate respectfully? Without the fear of being cancelled, blacklisted, censored, harassed etc? Because if there is I want to join. Thanks
