By the way, welcome to everyone who joined thanks to Boost!
With all the political extremism and propaganda on here I’d be surprised if numbers stabilize any time soon.
You’ll never fully be able to escape crazies in a network built out of human beings. That said:
It’s important to remember a lot of people in the Lemmy-verse are there because they were banned from Reddit for being too obnoxious.
The next update will allow users to block entire instances which should help cut down on some of that
Also, moderation here is way more lenient than other platforms.
I believe part of what you may be seeing was a bug that was preventing moderation actions from federating properly. Fixed in 0.18.5
Yes the KBin spam issue right? Also because it’s decentralized a bad actor can start their own instance and moderate however they want.
Kbin moderation actions being incompatible with Lemmy’s is a different issue as far as I’m aware.
Depends on what you’re here for, reddit had a bunch of extremists but they were cut out of r/all so it was less obvious. Here you get a glimpse of everything and should take care of your home feed by subscribing to what you want to see. On my first scroll of lemmy I start on my home feed, then browse all if feel l haven’t found anything to read, adding to my subscribed communities if I find anything good.
Seems like instance admins already sort of have the ability to hide communities from all, like how Reddit would hide certain subs from r/all

I think it’s still not in the UI yet but maybe coming soon, and 3rd party UIs/apps could implement it
I’ve been just blocking every political sub
I’ve been blocking most as well, but I don’t like that solution because social media is the de facto modern town square. We need to have these conversations somehow.
Same. I get enough political slop everywhere else.
