Based on concerns from both the admin team and most users here, the lemmy.ml admin team decided to add wolfballs.com to our blocklist. There is just too much reactionary content that breaks almost all the rules we have here.

It’s natural for open instances like this one to develop blocklists organically, and so far we’ve only felt it necessary to block 2 instances. If there’s any concerns about other instances that we should keep an eye on, let us know.

    On the Ronald McDonald thing… who cares? Why are you that hypersensitive? Welcome to free speech.

    I’m not sensitive, there’s nothing personal to it, I’m pissed off that they’re a. spreading lies that make this world worse every day, b. taking a hostile position towards science in general. Not arguing that vaccines are bad science or that they’re scientifically unfounded, but that science itself is a bad thing. And c. arguing that anybody who believes in vaccines is stupid, to be pitied, not to be trusted.

    It’s not just the standard conspiracy theory, it’s multiple levels deeper and more dangerous.

    I’m not saying they should be arrested. I’m saying they’re garbage people who should not have their lies amplified by federation.

    On the “Illegals” thing, that was referring to people from other instances coming on and down voting the crap out of things which was made pretty clear… so?

    It was a joke, but it’s a joke by the admins that belies their scorn for other human beings.

    On the Dr Oz thing, I disagree. Somebody isn’t a RINO because they’re on the right and say they have compassion for trans athletes, but MANY now regardless of what side of the fence you’re on have a cult like belief that you either subscribe to 100% of an (assumed) political ideology or you’re canceled. But again, moron or not, free speech.

    Again, it’s not just that they’re against trans people in sports – Oz didn’t say they should be allowed to play – or that they don’t have compassion for trans people. You missed the point of the meme.

    It’s that they think compassion for trans people means he’s not a Republican at all. That the reader is required, as a (presumed) conservative, to hate trans people, overtly. Many hatemongers at least think they’re coming from a good place – love and pity for something they just don’t understand. Not only are they not coming from that bigoted position common among conservatives, they know they’re engaging in hate, and they’re demanding that the rest of their community agree with them.

    I’m for everybody living their life the way they want, but that doesn’t include disconnecting from reality to do it.

    Unless it’s over vaccines?
