  • Wouldn’t that enable an angle of “martyr for freedom of speech”?

    Could you elaborate on this angle? I’m not very well versed in the rights of companies operating in the EU, but I’m unsure “freedom of speech” is one of them.

    Edit: I did find information about how social media needs to help us protect freedom of speech for all of their users. Currently, X is doing the opposite it seems

    Also unhelpful, since, if you look at my comment history, I was already aware of the Costco butter fiasco and had made a snarky comment about it.

    Are you insinuating Google is reading your Lemmy comments and pushing you news recommendations based on those?



  • That is an interesting thought. I do see a potential risk in basing your block list on someone else’s when they hold a position of power or influence, though.

    If a popular person want to suppress engagement of a less popular person, they could add them to their block list, prompting their “block followers” to do the same. This could have a bad impact on Lemmy engagement if it was being (ab)used for such purposes.

    I try to minimise the amount of individuals I block though. Most of them are bots and I would hate to miss a good post or comment by someone just because they made a bad one elsewhere. Your mileage may vary, of course.
