Is it bots? Are those humans whos mission is to cause chaos? Is the weird behaviour caused by the creation of the concept of lemmy?

Somebody please explain to me wtf is going on.

They answer destructive comments, assuming shit, demanding shit. Are they trolls?

Are they being paid for causing chaos? It’s insane

      Yeah but…how? How can you block from your account the whole of it? I keep getting communities belonging to hexbear popping into my feed, and I have to individually block each one of them. It’s rather tedious. Isn’t there a way to make a whole instance block from your account?

        Some apps might have nicer blocking features. Or move instances to one that is defederated from them

        I think most popular apps (boost, voyager if i remember, etc.) have this feature. I dont believe lemmy has this natively.

        Note that blocking instances doesn’t mean you wont see comments from there. It only works on communities.

        To be honest though, most of the problematic people only comment on specific posts/communities so blocking certain keywords and instances should fare pretty well.

            Yes, you can block instances through the browser. It blocks communites, not users. Users have to be blocked individually.
