  • Oh, it blocks the genzedong reddit crowd (who are worse here because there are no admins to tell them to stop openly advocating genocide) and the alt-right skinhead types. They tend to come from a few specific instances. What’s left is a blend of progressives and socialists and anarchists and moderates that can generally talk about things without treating you like you should be put to the firing squad for not loving Stalin or Hitler.

    You’ll come across it at some point and know immediately what I’m talking about.




  • Yeah. In the end I think it’ll be beneficial, honestly, to put more control in the hands of the user. If you notice all of the problem people are coming from on place, blocking them all feels so counter-intuitive when you can just block the source. And every argument I hear against it is the same tired “free speech means you have to listen to me and give me a platform” thing you hear from just about everyone who has an opinion most people really don’t wanna listen to.

    And they take over every new social media site until people find a way to filter them out. That’s why they fight so hard against said filters.
