I think most of the people on the blocklist are not people I want to talk to. But you can fuck off if you’re going to put that shit in a public client. Let people manage what they want to see by themselves.
I recognized a few names on there as brain dead trolls or politically extreme zealots. I’m sure some are fine and maybe just got on the devs nerves for something petty or isolated, but either way you’re right, let people manage their shit. Tired of people thinking they can nanny everyone else or tell others what to do or think or feel.
Edit:just to add, I also know one person on the list outside of Lemmy comments and they are a great person. They probably had one angry comment and the Dev took exception to that.
Sometimes you are just going to piss people off no matter what. Shit lemmy grew as the 2024 election in the U.S. grew. If users from the U.S. weren’t bitching about politics or calling others names… Then we probably deserve the current state
The first person I looked up had an extremely inflammatory slogan as their cover picture. The sentiment was anti-israel, so I expect most people here, including myself, at least broadly (possibly wholeheartedly) agree with his general stance, but I think such slogans are wrong and unhelpful so… yeah.
The instances, according to his rambling post, were blocked because of admin stances on violence. I’m sure you’ve seen violent posts on Lemmy calling for people to be Luigid or whatever.
Similar to my stance on individuals, I think that stuff crosses a line and needs to be removed from the fediverse, but again it’s not the place of a front-end developer to enforce that, especially not by muting the entire instance.
I think if he’s right about instance admins, there’s an argument to use the existing mechanism (defederation) which won’t make me very popular, but hopefully clarifies where I stand.

They put in blahaj in its entirety and that instance is a good 90% the people I ever want to talk to.
