    We block it for being a straight on propaganda outfit for authoritarian regimes.

      Which fits the definition of “nasty people” in my book!

      The OP is on-point. It’s not about the particular ideological tinge, it’s about the caustic experience of interfacing with them.

      Also, I’d add forcing to impose alt history without credible evidences. They’re also… difficult and too angry in conversations.

        LOL, you don’t have to put as having a particularly different opinion, boils down to pretty much the same thing. On the other hand it is explicitly illegal in Poland to praise authoritarian communism (and fascism/nazism), so there’s that as well. I can live with people being assholes, but if they support oppressive regimes and can bring you legal problems for how federation works on a technical level it’s a bit to much to ask.
        With lemmy.ml there is some users/communities that I might particularly dislike, but it’s not like it’s the sole purpose of it’s existence, there’s also decent content that we repost and have respect for lemmy devs.
