I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

Is that a spectre I see haunting? Spooky.

Why are you checking the support page for a different instance

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

It showed up in my feed.

We aren't, you just don't understand how federation works.

I understand that people see posts from other instances, I don’t understand why people click on posts from other instance’s support pages. Why not scroll past

  1. The name of our instance is literally in this post's title what do you expect

  2. This comm is called "main" and the sidebar says it is the "Home of the sh.itjust.works instance." How is anyone supposed to know this is a "support" comm?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well that’s normally what the “main” community for any instance would be, announcements and support posts. But I understand if that isn’t really clear

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

/c/main was our shitposting comm for a while, until it was closed in a controversial mod decision

last i checked it was reopened as a joke and any post/comment without the word "main" in it gets removed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not to pick sides, but I've literally never heard that before. I've always seen Main used the same as a General channel. That being said, if it's truly important, just create an account on Kbin for awhile until Lemmy has the same blocking capabilities.

We could say the same for y'all.

I do scroll past hexbear posts but I would rather just not see them which is why I asked

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's all fine and good. There are likely dozens of well mannered users on both sides of the federation fence. It's just the few arseholes also on both sides making it hell for everyone. I don't see why we can't just sub to the coms we like and be done with it. But lemmy keeps showing the weirdest shit and the knee-jerk reaction is to comment on it.

Funny how we didn't have any asshole issues since we defederated from EH and we suddenly have an asshole issue now that your instance whitelisted us...

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago

Funny how you didn't consider your assholes to be an issue until people disagreed with you politically

It's largely the active sort imo. It's night and day since we reverted from our custom algorithm.

Yes. We're federated. What's your point?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Well, you can see this conversation is in a community that has nothing to do with your instance and clearly with the question being asked your reaction should be "Oh, I shouldn't bother them if that's how they feel." but you just can't resist the temptation to stir some more shit and you don't even realize that you're just proving OP right.
