I can respect that opinion, and I will say… I have a number of people blocked. It's easy to do.

Speaking only for us here on Lemmy.World, we try to ban people who break the Lemmy.World ToS, which include issues like bigotry, incivility, spam, things like that. Not necessarily opinions with which we might disagree or find unpleasant. I think if I allowed myself to ban anyone with whom I disagreed, I would find myself quickly de-adminned, and rightfully so - it would kill the fedverse.

There are other tools for dealing with, well, tools. Including blocking on a personal level, or having community rules in place that make sense for that community that can help create spaces that are more comfortable to be in.

So while I agree with your sentiment, understanding the roles of the instance admins vs community moderators or individual choices - that's why I set up a monthly donation before I became an admin. Because Lemmy provides me with good content and communities.

Everyone is absolutely free to make their own choices. And this reply is not an attempt to beg you to donate.
