There is a lemmy "anarchist" that reports my posts even in non anarchists spaces because they don't like what I have to say about America or voting instead of just using the block button. Block button should be your first line of defense instead of appealing to authority to get your way. This is less about people being assholes in anarchist spaces and more about the fact that we have a lot of posers on lemmy.

Oh okay. Yeah that's annoying. What the fuck kind of anarchist supports AmeriKKKa?

Block button should be your first line of defense instead of appealing to authority to get your way.

Mostly agree, but there are absolutely times when nagging people to get someone banned has been the right call, simply because of the technical structure of Lemmy and the Internet. Like a couple months ago, I basically contacted all the main admins on every instance to get one user blocked from most communities because they were actively going into trans communities and posting transphobic bullshit to disrupt them and trigger their users.

Like the block button is good if someone is being mean or saying stuff that is just offensive, but it's not a good response to actually oppressive language. In that case, it's just choosing to ignore oppression, which isn't very anarchist 🙂.

sunshine isn't an anarchist, they are an instigator
