in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?🤔

    The amount of extreme views I’ve come across made me just leave most of groups and there’s very little point opening it up… lemmy simply hasn’t got enough people to be blacklisting things. How do you handle it?

      You encounter extreme views in your everyday life too, they’re just normalized to you. Transphobia is extreme and violent and very prevalent, so is racism. You just perceive as extreme the ones that are very far from the norm, but the norm itself is extremely violent.

      You dont miss much by blocking. If you feel the comments are impacting then 100% block because your experience will be so much better.

      Are you blocking instances? You gotta block instances. Also block users aggressively. There aren’t that many bad egg users on the respectable instances. It doesn’t take too long to really clean up your feed.

        Also block users aggressively.

        Like the one moron that doesn’t use “th” or the other idiot that signed all his posts that they couldn’t be used to train AI.

        Straight to the blocklist.

      I don’t know what you consider extreme views. I don’t feel the need to try to handle anything.

      If you’re wondering how I curate my feed, I only browse by subscribed communities. If I want to find new ones I look at cross-posts, the community promotion coms, or search by interest.
