I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

  • Unfortunately, I don’t know how to find a list of users I’ve blocked to unblock and take screenshots, but the ones that made me wash my hands of the instance were clearly anti-semitic.

    There’s no situation where someone like that sits at the metaphorical table, and I don’t move tables.

      idk what an antisemitic emoji would even be, i’ve never seen one used ever. we have emojis that have flags burning that are typically used whenever a country’s government does something racist. someone proposed one for israel but we decided against it iirc because it had a star of david on it. and i doubt youre saying anything in good faith at this point, your account is 12 hours old and has only posted in this thread.

      relevant emojis

      • I’ve got the same user across a few instances after the piracy ban on .world. But yeah, I’m a lurker mostly. My point is, there’s a particular vibe that’s presented even within this threads discussion that is pervasivly toxic.

        Emoji spam, constant whataboutism, etc. I’m not saying the instance is inherently bad. But the user base is pretty toxic, in my experience so far.
