I didn’t feel unsafe on Reddit. I know there were jerks there but I mostly stayed in my niche technical communities and the jerks stayed in theirs. If on Lemmy you need the admins to keep them out of your feed, that is a problem with the software. You should be able to manage your feed better.
It was generally enough to moderate at the level of subreddits or Lemmy communities, rather than blocking whole servers.
I’m happy to have my server block misinformation and hate. I can do it myself just as easily, but it’s great to be able to say my community doesn’t put up with or tolerate it. Their hateful message doesn’t deserve any weight. It’s disingenuous or based on false premises that are unshakeable via social media aggregator or whatever this is. There are just some communities that are toxic hate factories. Maybe some people need that in their lives? I personally don’t think it’s healthy, but they’ll just take that as having my head in the sand or whatever.
Meanwhile, new communities are born, and I’m happy to join with them and see new ideas and content.
