    news@lemmy.ml restricts saying anything even vaguely anti-russian in a time when Russia is effectively trying destroy the west. At the same time, they’re allowing rather blatant anti-west sentiment. And I’m not saying that that’s fundamentally bad, but rather that there is no such thing as unbiased.

    Reddit sure sucks and needs to die though. But their bias of not supporting murder is somewhat understandable.

      Its not murder, it’s self defense. A mass murderer was stopped by Luigi, end of story.

        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.
