Can I ask why? They've only been in like a handful of threads and those are only the ones on frontpage of /all/ under "active" sort. Like, 3 or 4 bans per day seems like practically nothing? In the last week there have been 17 bans and 6 of those are ban evaders unrelated to federation. 11 bans in 7 days seems really low impact.

I'd be pretty sad to see you disappear I like you.

Click on the "local" button on the top and you filter everything other than us out

your default site filter should be Local > Hot (or new)

that way, when you want to see or participate in dunking, you switch to All > Active but you otherwise don't cop all the pleb outside memes

click your username > settings and review

I blocked the memes comm on lemmy.ml and that did wonders for my experience; blocking certain comms can make a huge difference if you don't want to go as far as switching to Local but can't stand shit like garbage-tier Reddit memes.
