    So .world is extremely anti free speech? Is there an easy way I can block all of .world from my feed then?

      This guide is wrote up for those who have a hard time banning .ml and constantly removed about being able to see our content. It could be used to ban .world if you want i guess.


      Welcome to a tutorial on how to block .ml on your personal account.

      In the top right corner of the top of the page, there are 3 horizontal white bars. Click it.

      This will open up a drop down menu. At the bottom of that menu, you will see your username. Click it.

      This will open another drop down menu with 3 options. Click “Settings”.

      At the top of your screen you will see 2 tabs. Click the one that says “Blocks”.

      Here you will see “Block user” “Block community” and “Block instance”. Click the down arrow below “Block instance”.

      This will open up a search bar. Type “lemmy.ml” and click it after it shows up.

      That’s it! You’ve blocked .ml and will never see content from the instance. Now you don’t need to make a feud post every day complaining about .ml and other instances you disapprove of. Think of all the time you will save!

      But wait, we aren’t done yet in this menu. Click the down arrow under “Block user”. Now type “UltraGiGaGigantic” Make sure you select my .ml account as the other ones I no longer use. Thanks, appreciate it.

        That’s not enough for the centrists. They don’t want anyone to be allowed to be exposed to any idea to their left. Under any circumstances.

      Free speech means that you can speak your opinion freely without the state (country…) punishing you for it.

      Free speech doesn’t mean I have to listen to/read everything.

      And yes, you can block the whole of lemmy.world easily, if you want to.

        Didn’t ask what you wish I meant by “free speech” or what you’re glad I don’t mean by it.

        Would thank you for answering what I asked if you didn’t waste my time answering (with fucked up wording) those 2 un-asked questions first

      Interesting way of reasoning: “They are bad because they block stuff they don’t want to read, so I block them because what they do is stuff I don’t want to read.”

      Shouldn’t you be blocking yourself if you follow that way of reasoning?

      There’s a lot of users there who would very much prefer that no one to their left (and only their left) should be permitted to speak.

        Your reply comes form there but will probably be the last post I see from there because I’m gonna go ahead and block the instance. Unless that still lets replies come through (fine with me, main feed is more my focus)
