    Overall it’s probably a good thing that it happened on a single instance so it’s easy to identify …?

          I definitely get the desire to block instances, but there are also some good commenters from .world (though they are usually the minority) and I would like to see their contributions still. Blocking individual users is a bigger pain, but results in a better experience in the long term IMO.

          It makes me appreciate that our admins only defend from truly scum-of-the-earth instances. As much as .world feels like Stormfront at tines, they’re no Exploding Heads.

            but there are also some good commenters from .world

            And these theoretical good .worlders can move if that’s the case; otherwise, I don’t have an issue not seeing them based on the behavior of their peers.

              Today I stumbled on some of the .world and kbin posts and comments you interacted with over the last week. Yeah, I think I get why you’re ok blocking them now.

                I’m looking forward to the sweeping sense of relieved stress that not even having to observe such ignorance will bring me, I’m not even playing

        I hated that feature on reddit. It was just a tool for people to be cowards and try to get the last word in leaving no right of reply to their bullshit.

    What did they do now? Sorry, I don’t generally pay attention to social media platform drama unless it involves a bloated billionaire.

      Reddit tracks outbound link clicks, lemmy.world does not.

      We actually don’t know that. Lemmy does not come packaged with tracking software, but instance owners can add their own. The admins there have actually unsuccesfully tried to dox someone (leaking an email address they thought was that person’s) and track deleted messages on their discord server. We can’t say at this time whether they track users or not.

      Lemmygrad btw does not run any tracking software, it’s the legit lemmy software with no modifications.

      Using the largest lemmy instances is still far and away better than using reddit.

      You’re still interacting with Redditors tho.

      Of course Reddit doesn’t federate — even if they were willing to do it, what benefit would it be for any other service to federate with it?

      Reddit has a massive userbase, and it’s hard to overstate this impact in terms of even fairly large communities on Reddit, who have a user or two at most on Lemmy.

      Reddit doesn’t force you to use its app — the website remains freely accessible. I can’t understand why people want to get apps for every website they visit… do you need push notifications for Reddit or something?!

      Using the largest Lemmy instances is in many ways equal to Reddit at best.
