    How do I block .ml results?

    Are there other servers which amplify problematic content?

      So the Tankie Triad is:

      Edit: The trouble is that, as far as I know, there’s currently no way as a user to block an entire instance. You can play whack-a-/C and block communities as you bump into them. The other option is to look for instances that have de-federated from these instances, and make a new account on one of those instances.

      As @Samskara@sh.itjust.works pointed out, instance blocking is possible:

      You can block instances in your settings. For your instance, that’s lemmy.ca/settings then selects blocks and add the instances you want to block

      Are there other servers which amplify problematic content?

      There’s a lot more than the 3 listed above, the ones I listed are militant in their belief that Russia and China are Marxist-Leninist utopias. There’s some communities and users across all the instances that are problematic. If you see something you don’t like, block the user or community.

        There doesn’t seem to be a way to block all users of an instance though unfortunately. You can still see posts and comments they make on other instances

          Whack-a-mole sadly, but I will say that not every user on an instance you don’t want to interact with is necessarily going to be promoting content that you find objectionable.

        1. Hexbear hates Russia. They call Putin a fascist dictator / capitalist all the time.

        2. No one on Hexbear calls Russia or China a Marxist utopia. Pointing out that the CCP is using their power to build highspeed rail, nuclear energy, tons of public housing, and huge solar projects might seem like glazing, but I think those projects are worthy of praise. If the US built 40000km of highspeed rail, entire cities of public housing, tons of clean nuclear power plants, etc then I would be overjoyed to praise my country for doing something good.

        3. Supporting genocide is true tankieism. Anyone who isn’t critical of the US’s funding of genocide or the military industrial complex are the true tankies.
