      Blocking .ml and hexbear at an instance level is probably the best thing you can do to help your mental health whilst scrolling Lemmy

    If they’re getting massively negatively voted on and also being ratioed, we should probably leave them up in my humble opinion.

      Except the thread isn’t deleted there, just any posts debunking it.

      Pretty sure I am at this point. Yoghaus or however it’s spelled must suck Putin’s dick or something. Funny thing is he accused me of being xenophobic after I said China should probably back up their previous claims of stealth fighter detection before claiming their newest system makes stealth fighters 60,000 times easier to detect. Actual words in the article lmao.

      Friend I’m here to shit post and be glorious. I thoroughly enjoy picking apart their arguments and making them sound like 2-year-olds. When I walk them through the logical conclusions of their world view. Personally, I think we need to bring back public shaming in the western world.

        Unfortunately this isn’t possible in their sandbox. They will knock down your sandcastle and kick the sand in your eyes. Best you can do is to stop interacting with them and leave them on their own island.

            As they say: Some people want to watch the world burn… Other people want to carry the torches.

            I salute your bravery.

      @Forester@yiffit.net has the right idea. The most normal person reading an ugly post should see an educated reply. When radicalism is entirely unchecked, it has a greater potential to sway moderate people.

      I block nothing and no one. If bad stuff* exists, I want to see it and provide counterpoints.

      It’s unfortunate that the extremists can block everyone who contradicts them. They can force echo chambers upon the community.

      *no gore though

    This is one instance in which deleting the thread is the best course of action. Many more people will see the gross but concise lies condensed in a post title than read your 3 paragraphs of corrections and sources

    Edit: in fact, it is so clearly the best approach that I feel like your post must be malicious in nature.

      I agree with your first paragraph, but not your edit. People just get attached to their comments. Nobody wants to see their (at least in their opinion) meticulously thought out debunk slamdunk of a comment ending up hidden or deleted. Even more so if making said comment took time and research for sources etc.

      Maybe you just misunderstand the meme. I have no problem that it was deleted. That’s why it’s titled. I guess I should just type faster

      As far as I’m concerned, thread being deleted was the admin picking them up and throwing them in the trash after me and five other people beat them to a pulp in the comments first. I just wish I got my final word in so he could read it.
