You as an individual blocking their communities and users you do not wish to see is the best bet.

I want to avoid defederation where ever possible.

As a user, you can block either people or communities but not whole instances.

If you are an admin running an instance, you can do it through the admin settings.

Does he have poor credit?

Or does he have a poor social credit score?

It is crazy

Your account is located on another instance.

The best I can do is ban your account from our instance, which I have done.

If you ever want it unbanned, just let me know and I will for so.

This change is more due to his 2024 primary battle with Trump.

Exploding Heads has never defederated lemmygrad. We invite diverse opinions, discussion, and debate.

I want to speak up in defense of the Lemmy developers.

I run an instance that is probably the polar opposite of Lemmy.ml.

Yes Lemmy.ml blocked us from federating, but when it comes to getting a Lemmy instance up and running successfully, 99.99% of the time the developers have been both helpful and generous with their time.

Give them a break. They have created some great open source software that can serve as a foundation of an exciting future.

I think the thing to stop this happening is for the user to own the identity they use on Lemmy - so if you do not like what gas happened on the instance you signed up on, you can easily move to another instance or social media.

Lemmy is open source. Lots of people run instances, so there are a lot of choices.

That is why I am supportive of something like self-soverign I’d

Point of clarification, Exploding Heads is not “anti lgbtq”

Once you are an adult, we believe you should be free to make your own choices.

But we are highly protective of children.

• We do not believe they should be the subject of indoctrination, be subject to treatment programs that could sterilize them for life, or have breasts and penises chopped off.

• We do not believe their parents should be subjected to threats - legal, social, or emotional blackmail by medical “professionals”

• We believe sports are an important opportunity for our daughters to develop. We do not believe men should be stealing those opportunities from them.

• We believe our daughters have the right to privacy in changing rooms etc.

So here is some evidence your you published by NBC (you do not get any more woke or left then that) about the long term sustained advantage of trans athletes.

Funny when the BLM riots were destroying their stores and mobs were taking whatever they liked, Target donated millions to BLM and associated groups.

But now they are blaming innocent Moms who do not want their kids indoctrinated.

Target hates their customers

The globalists in the Tory party are definitely responsible for a lot of those problems.

Farage is a different cup of tea - he seems to fight for the interests of the average family.

But you keep insisting on paying the tax surcharge.

I agree. So why do you want the younger generation to pay this tax surcharge that will benefit us boomers.

I’m confused.

So tell me what reality is, I listening

Tell me what reality is

Conservatives care about our kids and do not think they should have to pay for our wasteful spending.

My generation benefits from this largess, so go ahead and pay if you want. But as a parent and grandparent I would prefer to see you spend this money on creating a healthy environment for you and your kids.

But believe me when I tell you our generation has had the opportunity to save, pay off our house, pay off our car, have the kids move out.

I still remember, life was a lot tougher financially when our family was young.

But if you want to pay, go ahead. The government will never say no.

There are always exceptions at both ends of the spectrum, but the broad averages are as I said.

Do not let them fool you into thinking it will be someone else paying for it, somehow it is always you.

And the sad part is young people keep voting for these dishonest clowns who are going to suck your wallet dry.

Who needs more help - somebody who had worked their entire life and saved, paid off their home, kids moved out long ago. . .

Or

A thirty year old, not yet in their prime earning years trying to raise 3 kids while paying off their mortgage and car loan.
