Just blocked lemmy.ml from my Lemmy account, and I swear to god it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done on this platform. My homepage feels actually clean now.
For the past few months I’d been seeing a lot of tankie posting and pretty much far-left propaganda on my feed. It got tiring enough that I finally checked my blocked-user list, and realized pretty much everyone I’d blocked was from lemmy.ml. So I just blocked the whole instance instead.
Saying this as someone who considers themselves a leftist: I used to think Lemmy itself was an echo chamber. Turns out lemmy.ml was the problem the entire time. Probably the reason I tolerated it for so long is that I agreed with a lot of what they posted, but like an oversaturated meme, I’d had enough. Browsing the platform was starting to feel way too tiring instead of fun, which defeats the point of being here in the first place.
The breaking point was seeing some dude post a “meme” implying North Korea and China are basically communist utopias and that the West sucks. I mean, the West does suck, but come on - you’re saying North Korea is the ideal the West should strive for? What the hell…

Yes yes very cool have fun with the son of Bolsenaro as your president because of the USA.
Yeah, no, that MF won’t elect himself, he barely knows anything about anything and isn’t even a real politician at all.
Against the current president which has a much stronger base and is actually populist he has no chance.
Unless trump finds a puppet to impersonate him until the elections there is no way he is gomna win.
Yea I don’t see Lula losing. Geneva is a terminal doomer, unfortunately, despite usually being decent when it comes to which side to support.
