Get a grip, pug. Just accept it and move on…
Blahaj has Blahaj rules - don’t like them, then don’t comment and/or visit.
Every instance has rules - you’ll never agree with all of them; but isn’t that the entire point of federation, i.e. decentralisation?
I second this.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am so far out of Blahaj’s demographic it’s mind blowing - but still I understand that when I interact with Blahaj I have to respect the rules of the house. That’s just how federation works. Obey the house rules or don’t visit. I might not agree with Ada about every single thing, and that’s not a problem, but if I decide to visit Ada’s yard I’m not gonna disrespect her there.
Mentally, yes. Financially, no.
I “enjoy” browsing 9gag and in that prison of racism and misogyny the odd poster pops up now and again with a bit of fact checking to dispel or disrupt whatever narrative the bot farms are pushing that day. As to opposing social views though? Not really - I guess the mass of users torpedo such comments with down voting etc.
You use Google in DuckDuckGo’s browser?
There’s the possibility that instead of dropping-out some people may be infiltrating and taking over…
I kinda feel you on this.
I only turned-up in the fediverse because my phone, the Voyager app and Lemmy looks suspiciously like how my phone, the Apollo app and… some other aggregator site I used to visit looked. (Robbit, or something. Can’t remember all the details)
Anyway, having a browse, looking around. Happy happy. Saw /196 and checked it out - I knew the “content” and “the rule” from the other place. Just like old.
Got to understand the difference between community and instance. Had a look around Blahaj… eye-opening. I felt the place out and discovered that it was, in fact, what it appeared to be. Doubly eye-opening.
If Blahaj was a pub, run by Ada, and I was the doorman I wouldn’t even let me in; let alone drink at the bar.
So I wound my neck in.
Plenty of other instances to go bump my gums on - if I’m so inclined.
Just let it slide, folks… their place, their rules.
P.S. The sum of human time wasted on these few words, again and again, reheated and reserved, again and again. I mean, really? We’re at the peak of technological advancement and saturation whilst possibly on the cusp of a dystopian cataclysm and we are all - me included - wasting our time churning over the same old nonsense.
