    Oof, I can see why some of those instances are blocked, though. Since I’m on Beehaw, I checked their block list and…wow. Scrolled through each one for a few minutes and now I’m hoping I’m not on some kind FBI list for it. A few highlights from my research expedition:

    • A meme featuring various characters (MLP, Vaporeon, Peter Griffin, etc) unironically mourning Ted Kaczynski
    • NSFL gore
    • People calling for the execution of cops who stopped rioters on Jan 6
    • SO. MUCH. LOLICON.
    • “Hahaha look at this WOKE LIB 🤣🤣🤣”
    • QANON. QANON EVERYWHERE.

    I was only on each one for a minute or so. I don’t think I’m missing out on anything except maybe being put on some kind of list.

      same, I’m on Sopuli and their Blocklist is pretty short but has the worst ones.

      they are really, really bad and some are straight up illegal in some countries.

      Mostly far-right ones, straight up terrorism (seriously there are people with RAF and other terrorist organization’s logos on their profile pics there), nsfl gore videos (like people dying and being tortured type of stuff), and nsfw ones full of underage anime girls in suggestive poses…

      lemmygrad is probably the worst one out of all of them, just because of it’s size (tankie terrorist group)

        I haven’t blocked anything on my instance yet since I haven’t encountered that but maybe I should copy sopuli’s blocklist.

        Ah yes. There’s far-right terrorism, NSFL gore, CSAM, but it’s the commies that are “the worst one out of all of them.”

          I’ve just finally caved in and visited lemmygrad for the first time and oh, boy! I’ve heard the sound of my grey matter atrophy

        Now that’s some new far-right apologism I’ve never seen before, I’m rather happy with lemmygrad being the big one and not some place like evropa.ss lmao

        One fascist is one too many either way

      Even if you wouldn’t like it, the cool thing here is you can decide for yourself. If… you feel the need to do so.

      I saw how long the list is and got kinda concerned I might miss out on content since I’m on beehaw, but now it just sounds like I’m getting sheltered from all the internet wackjobs lol
