Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I question the blocking you part but understood.
Thank you.
You should also add hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, if you think .ml is bad those 2 are widely considered to be far worse. Together they comprise the Tankie Triad of the lemmyverse
Be aware though that while blocking the triad makes your feed much better, the blocking system of lemmy is horribly implemented (Many of us consider it done on purpose (the lemmy devs are hardcore Tankies)) so even though you block instances, those instance users can still be bothersome on posts outside those instance (e.g. you'll still see them on a post on a comm on lemmy.dbzer0.com for instance). They are also known to create Alts on other instances to stir up trouble and brigade posts.
Here's a list of well known Tankies if you'd like to individually block, most of em will have alts on hex and grad (I made it from memory so I might miss some others) Alternatively, depending on your client, you can also just tag their usernames and then if you see them in the wild you'll know right away (Which is what I prefer, I prefer to tag users rather than outright block so I can counter their crap if I so choose)

Fine by me, if they get to leak out of their instance that means likewise they need pushback.
