Did the admins poll the community about it? Why was such measure so needed? If the tankie content is so annoying why not let users decide what they want to see or not and what they want to block?

I don’t like that the admins want to censor the content I can view or not. You guys are not protecting us nor doing us a favor, you’re imposing your views over everyone else by limiting the information we are able to receive.

I don’t support the devs views or the views in lemmygrad, but this is a dangerous precedent.

I’ve read several of the “arguments” for blocking the instance and all I can see is a bunch of people talking about politics and arguing about “floods in the frontpage”. Well, let the user block communities if that’s the case, same way I’m already blocking communities I’m not interested.

I think the admins want to feel like Facebook moderation. I’d be OK with it if any instance repeatedly generated spam, security, doxxing or any other concern that couldn’t be solved by banning individuals, otherwise it’s just plain censorship.

I just don’t want the admins to use their power to decide what I can see or not. If this is going to be like this, I’ll leave for a better instance because I can see where this is going to.

    The cultural defeat is so strong that people here are equating transparent and responsible leadership with corporate governance, lol. As if volunteer or small-project admins couldn’t be serious or good.

      It’s just not serious or good for you. Don’t just go out here and hate on all of us lol. I’m perfectly fine with that community being blocked so that there will less likely be tankies here. It’s not that deep homie
