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.
I recommended this on Matrix. It really was necessary. The site admins are in favor of vaccine misinformation and extreme fearmongering to the point of hostility towards science in general.
I was considering moving out of Reddit because bans and shit. My first day using Lemmy and first post I read is about blocking/black lists etc. :( Why the need to block? You dont like you dont go there.
This is actually the strength of federation and open source. There is no central authority to stop any use. We individually have control over what we interact with in the usual way and we (collectively as an instance) have the same control. If you don't want to belong to an instance that blocks anyone, join a different instance or even start your own. This is just one place of many. Each of us can find or create the one that is right for us.
