DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.
Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.
Unrelated……
The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.
What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.
This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.
And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.
This is my now daily(?) suggestion for admins to defed from HC and for users to block it
I definitely think LW needs to defederate from them. There’s little they offer that doesn’t have a better alternative elsewhere.
somewhat new to Lemmy, how can a user block an instance? so far all I’ve been able to figure out is blocking individual communities
If you’re on desktop, click on the arrow by your username in the top right. Then click Settings. On the next page, click on Blocks and scroll all the way down to Block Instance to type in an instance name.
If you’re on the Voyager app, go to Settings, then Filters & Blocks and scroll all the way down to Blocked Instances to type in an instance name.
Methods may vary for other browsers/apps.
Blocking an instance (unfortunately) does not stop users from that instance from replying to you or from you seeing their comments. You’d have to block the individual accounts as you see them.
Depends on what app you use.
For Voyager you go to settings > filters & blocks > add instance
