    May I ask you: then why are you here, in [email protected], if you do not enjoy the back-and-forth of political discourse? I was ecstatic when Lemmy 0.19 arrived and I could finally block Hexbear, and just now I blocked all of Lemmygrad as well, rather than start that whole process again of dealing with toxic commenters.

    Granted, the Fediverse makes it difficult by showing everything by default, thereby putting the onus on you to have to block what you do not want to see, but if you blocked this community then you wouldn’t have to see such things ever again? Maybe that’s a note for the future development where some communities could be made to be opt-in rather than visible to everyone by default.

    This is a legitimate question btw, fwiw.

      Yeah no, I’m allowed to criticize Biden as much as I want. If you don’t want to hear any criticism of your favorite candidate then just ignore it.

        I am 100% fine with criticizing Biden btw:-P. In fact, I outright want to hear how he has messed up, even though at the same time I also want to hear how he has done well. But anyway, if you get too annoying then I will block you, and vice versa, message received loud and clear! (you don’t want to limit yourself, you just want everyone else to do so for your sake, got it! :-D)
