    A couple of issues, on Lemmy “block” isn’t block it’s barely a mute. The only way to get a true block, is to be site banned by an instance. This is likely the way dessalines wants it, because it’s quite ridiculous.

    And it doesn’t help retain new users who might not be clued in on needing to “block” them. Scaring away new users. It will only get worse, if everyone “in the know” block them, then who will be left to downvote and show resistance to their “viewpoints”?

    And it still allows misinformation “articles” to spread and fester via the network, causing harm. To users, to the rep of the Threadiverse and its growth.

    The only real answer is as wide a defederation as the rest of the triad is treated

      That’s the problem I have with communities with people of the same opinion, safe spaces, circlejerks

      They will have a huge confirmation bias, be comforted in their beliefs and this might be harder and harder to revert, and might make people more extreme

          Any new account from lemmings.world or lemmy.cafe that acts like this is the same user evading bans. They can be safely reported and ignored, they get banned very quickly. They’ve been doing this since last year.
