      Well, I don’t block every mod simply for being a mod. Just the toxic ones. So you are safe

      …for now

    I have a lot of blocked communities, but only 5 blocked individuals.

    Edit: Trump and Elon are filtered as well, as are two instances due to too many trolls and one because I don’t speak their language and they show up too often on /all.

      I have zero blocked communities, 11 blocked users, and… the entire lemmy.ml instance. :-)

      I don’t feel like I’m missing anything at all important.

        To be fair, having an instance blocked means you have a lot of communities blocked as well.

          Strangely enough, the way that PieFed implements that, in the manner opposite of Lemmy, I see no content from Lemmy.ml users anywhere across all of Lemmy, yet I do oddly have access to those communities still:-). They are not entirely empty, but definitely far more so than the original, having only posts and comments from people on other instances contributing to them:-).

          I like this approach much better actually.:-)

              It’s not fully ready yet, for someone who does not have an early adopter mindset, but it’s coming, and I’m able to use it as my daily driver already (with frequent fall-backs to Lemmy when I need something that PieFed hasn’t implemented yet).

              I just heard that Andrew got a fork of Thunder working for PieFed. So… that will be helpful to see coming to the main branch at some point:-). ⚡

                  In the strictest sense that will never happen, since PieFed is a functional replacement for Lemmy.

                  However, in the broadest sense it is very much on the way, since it implements the same ActivityPub protocol that Lemmy uses. So e.g. you replied to me from lemm.ee, a Lemmy instance, and I am now replying to you from piefed.social, a PieFed one.

                  It would be up to the app vendors if they, like Thunder, will add PieFed support to their software. Which should get easier after this first one?

      I have zero blocked anything. Even if people are trolls, it’s fun to see what everyone is saying.

      I’ve even had constructive conversation on Hexbear before, I enjoy engaging with people with different opinions to me.

        I’m guessing you didn’t go against the flow?

        One time I said it’s fucked up that Romani children are taken away from primary school and married off to have children.

        Within an hour, I had crazy fucks publicly screaming at me how I’m a nazi and advocating genocide. Meanwhile I was also getting private messages about how they’re hoping I would suffer and some shit.

          No I absolutely go against the flow, half of them shit on me and memed on me, and a few shared thoughtfully written messages explaning their point of view. The thoughtful messages are the constructive conversions I’ve had
