    Genuinely blocking the bad .world made lemmy not ‘just reddit’ and thus so much better.

    If I wanted far right wing corporate sponsored viewpoints like “genocide is necessary so we can survive” I would just make another reddit account.

      I just had to block that whole instance as well, especially because the same people mod all the subs. They literally delete me comments for being “uncivil,” though I was literally just repeating back what was said to me. Those comments were allowed to stay, of course. The mod was supposedly generous for not banning me. It’s cool, bro, I’ll ban myself.

      If I am on voyager can I block an instance? If I wanted to hear the viewpoints of the view and all the other cable news anchors repeated back ad nauseum I would watch tv

        Yes, you can. But you don’t do it from the instance page, you have to add it to the list of blocked instances in voyager options

          Is Voyager a mobile app? Would it completely hide comments? Connect seems to have killed .world posts but just put a “view” button over comments.

            Yep, a mobile app. I don’t know if it hides comments, but I know it hides posts, at least (I used it to hide lemmit.online post so I’m not able to know if it hides comments as it is a bot instance)
