We should have a "no lesser-evilism" rule. If we don't already.

Amusing as a 300+ comments section can appear to be, debating two lemmydorks about the merits of supporting a genocidaire because the other one is also such is not something that should provide you amusement. It should be shut down, ignored, and moved on from.

An active ongoing genocide is not something one plays around with like one plays around with food. The time has long past for any good faith liberals to have informed themselves; genocide is a red line and any liberal trying to haggle and justify their support for Biden is just someone who wants to go back to brunch. Liberals would rather play "out of sight out of mind".

Anyway, aside from the report function,

I don't know if it works for Lemmyverse users, but you can use it to block:

Kerryposters
Kerryposting genocide supporters
Genocide apologists.
Bigots, fascists, creeps.
Liberals scolding you for not supporting Biden.

I've only ever blocked bots that drop links to alt reddit and YouTube. Not that I don't think its a good idea. They're just so aggressive, and lord help you of there are TWO of them.

Please report these sorts of posts anywhere you see them on the site. It's fun to dunk on people, but mods can't check every thread constantly and using the report function really helps us clean up and manage harmful posts. Don't assume someone has already hit report, please let us know.

Thanks!

The only people I have blocked are people who love and defend the garbage fake news comm.

Rabidly defend that reactionary cesspool in the comments below and I can add more!
