    With all the political extremism and propaganda on here I’d be surprised if numbers stabilize any time soon.

      You’ll never fully be able to escape crazies in a network built out of human beings. That said:

      • It’s important to remember a lot of people in the Lemmy-verse are there because they were banned from Reddit for being too obnoxious.

      • The next update will allow users to block entire instances which should help cut down on some of that

          I believe part of what you may be seeing was a bug that was preventing moderation actions from federating properly. Fixed in 0.18.5

            Yes the KBin spam issue right? Also because it’s decentralized a bad actor can start their own instance and moderate however they want.

              Kbin moderation actions being incompatible with Lemmy’s is a different issue as far as I’m aware.

      Depends on what you’re here for, reddit had a bunch of extremists but they were cut out of r/all so it was less obvious. Here you get a glimpse of everything and should take care of your home feed by subscribing to what you want to see. On my first scroll of lemmy I start on my home feed, then browse all if feel l haven’t found anything to read, adding to my subscribed communities if I find anything good.

        I’ve been blocking most as well, but I don’t like that solution because social media is the de facto modern town square. We need to have these conversations somehow.
