in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?🤔

    You dont miss much by blocking. If you feel the comments are impacting then 100% block because your experience will be so much better.

      So that you can be a base non participatory consumer and never have your opinions challenged or questioned?

      People claim they block “extremism” and “hate” but really in most cases they block out anyone who says anything that goes counter to their personal dogma, just like, you know, extremists.

        The kind of accounts im talking about aren’t the ones that are ever worth engaging with. Its not challenging to my views to have to defend the idea of democracy or explain why authoritarian regimes are bad.
