    I am sorry to hear that tbh. The only instance I blocked was lemmynsfw (altho not the users) because porn kept flooding my screen whenever I would attempt to browse for new communities. I also blocked a buttload of lemmygrad.ml communities before I had the ability to block instances, but I’m not sure if my instance even federates with them anyway. For users, I only ever ended up blocked one person evidently according to my account info.

    Well now you’re not making any sense. I don’t see “tankie” comments because I don’t subscribe to or browse political communities. Yet I see plenty of posts and complaints about said users in non-political communities. Check where we are right now. We’re in a meme community. Of course if I subscribe to meme communities, I’ll see posts and comments like this. It’s not that complicated to understand.

    I mean I just never ended up subscribing to political communities, so I never see any political related things anyway. If you only subscribe to meme and lighthearted communities, you’re not likely to run into that stuff. Your comparison of it being a “Nazi bar” doesn’t work. I’ve never been someone who browsed the “all” category of Reddit, and I’ve not been inclined to do that here on Lemmy, either. So no, you often won’t see that sort of thing unless you’re browsing by all communities.

    When choosing an instance, it is not necessarily overtly advertised as such. It’s just one of the largest instances, so many “regular” people are obviously going to pick it. New users are not going to be intimately familiar with the elaborate politics of federated Lemmy servers upon first arrival. It would be a bit bizarre to expect them to be.

    Right?? I don’t understand why every single person nowadays supposedly has autism and ADHD. If everyone has autism and/or ADHD now, then does anyone really have it?

    Imo, it doesn’t really make sense to turn what are normal human experiences suddenly into disorders now because it’s trendy. If it significantly impairs functioning to the point of things like failing out of school or the inability to hold down a job, then it makes sense to discuss it. Otherwise, I don’t get why it’s so trendy to pathologize common experiences/traits.
