Yeah I was worried this could become a problem, because I imagine a lot of chuds are turned off of lemmy because of the tankie devs. Which makes sense. But I don't think they should be welcome here, either. I'm trying to get away from that authoritarian shit, not get closer to the even worse kind of authoritarian shit.

Is there a way to block seeing any comments or posts from exploding heads?
You can block domains if you click on the domain next to the post, go to the sidebar and block it like a magazine
That hasn't been functioning for me, I've had to go to each magazine individually to block them.
If I click the button on the instance it doesn't do anything, I still see the posts in my feed. I've tried on a few of the non-english instances (since I don't know other languages).
Thank you for exposing all the people who want kbin to be just like Reddit. If that is what kbin turns into then it can join spez right where he belongs.
Your calls for censorship should get YOU and your peers in this thread banned.
Go hang out on Voat, bigot

how did you even find it? Browsing by newest?
Simply don't go to that magazine? Fuck, people....censorship is bad, but it sounds like kbin is committed to it. Is there a community I can join that has full free speech? This is a serious question.
They don't exist, because everytime someone mistakes hate speech for free speech it turns the community into a giant cesspool.
Complete freedom is called anarchy.

Itβs the paradox of tolerance. If you tolerate intolerant views in a space, quickly only the intolerant will feel welcome in a space. The series of now-removed Tweets screenshotted in this article do a great job of illustrating the point.

Welcome to the real world, where people disagree with you, and sometimes they're right and you're wrong. You can learn from everyone's perspective.
Is kbin meant to be a far-leftist echo chamber?

Now I can confirm, the block button works :D
I don't know what is going on with this new magazine, but are you suggesting that we can't be critical of "woke" culture and/or aspects of trans culture? I think both have some excesses deserving of some criticism, e.g. witch hunts on social media and transwomen in women's sports.
Edit: Unbelievable downvotes over a completely reasonable take. Perhaps there is no hope for the internet after all.
It is really disgusting and probably the worst part of any movement, everyone is brain washed into believing only one narrative and dissent is silenced. It's pretty much just fascism.
you think a movement of tolerance for trans folks is brainwashing? i'm pretty sure it's society evolving to accept that people exist outside the box of binary genders and other folks deciding they have no problem with that.
you're trying to tell people that what they know themselves to be is wrong. you're out here lacking empathy - making no attempt to really try to understand what life is like for people like this. and ultimately you're making a fuss about something that bears no tangible outcome on your daily life.
we don't want to have this conversation anymore. it has been done to death. we understand your perspective and it's based on fear of the unknown. end of discussion.
I see it as an opportunity to see how resilient the Fediverse is against censorship. Each instance has its own rules, and can federate (or not) with whoever they want. You want to build a stormfront clone or an extreme-left community? Go ahead, make your own rules. It does not mean that my instance has to federate with yours, though.
Sorry about the grammatical mistakes. English is not my native language.
You're being downvoted for making a reasonable take, to a completely unreasonable set of posts.
The problem is basically people going "let them talk banning is free speech!" When the talk is either an article demonizing the trans lobby, or a post below it that takes a moment to talk about how back in the day it was acceptable to beat homosexual people to a pulp.
That is why you are being downvoted. Because you're trying to act like a reasonable response is to be expected to a set of unreasonable and destructive takes. There's a group here trying to normalize hate speech as something that can just be argued with when most of them are cherry picking their arguments or just arguing in bad faith in general.
I'm sorry for the downvotes. People are assuming you support what's being said on that magazine, when you explicitly said you didn't read it. It's pretty vile stuff, not just reasonable criticisms. The place needs to be banned, it's very clearly hate speech.
cringe. grow up you fascist loser, go back to reddit
Bigotry is not welcome here.
I agree with others that you just gave that ps guy what they wanted: attention. You should've messaged ernest directly to ask him for better report tools.
Meanwhile, go to beehaw if you need better protection from people like him.
can you be more specific. I can't find what you found.
