    I wish instance blocks would also block all posts from people from the instance.

    What does it even do, actually? Just block the communities in the instance?

      Many instances have de-federated with LemmyGrad and Hexbear, which are considered to be badly behaved at the level of the administrators.

      The instance to which you object is not similarly problematic. Rather, you feel annoyed by the political leanings, even while the community is permissive of varied political orientations.

      Instances may be blocked in your user account, in case doing so makes your personal experience feel more relaxed or productive. You may also consider restricting your participation to communities that enforce a conformity you find suitable. There are plenty of safe spaces in the world for convicted liberals.

      Oh no, did the meme about how dog shit your worldview is irritate you?

      Liberals getting mad because they can’t block ideas from their feeds is hilarious.

        Yes, that’s the reason. Not your incessant peddling of obvious bullshit into everybody’s mouths. I’m also defending your freedom to block obvious shit instances, whatever you might think that means.

          Same; “obvious bullshit” is what I call sound reasoning that I don’t like too /s

        .ml does a fantastic job of maintaining its echo chamber so there’s a proverb about glass houses and stones that comes to mind.

          There are plenty of echo chambers of every variety and orientation. The value of federation is to produce an experience that is varied and complete.
