Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. (lemm.ee)

A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

You are replying to a comment thread that is about blocking Nazis, it's completely disingenuous to act like that's not a legit problem and that anyone is talking about anything other than actual fucking Nazis. They are real. No one said everyone they disagree with is a Nazi because that's fucking stupid.

No, OPs point was that they can block people they disagree, with the person above in this thread brought up Nazis when people pointed out how toxic that behaviour is in creating filter bubbles.

I.e. they brought up an extreme example at one end of the spectrum to make a point when we were discussing the spectrum more broadly
