This is why Lemmy won't grow, a lot of instances are forcing their users to create another account on other instances, this was my third account due to the blocking of some instances like this...
You can always host your own instance. Then you can choose what is blocked and what isn't.
Did you know that beehaw doesn’t allow downvotes? I am currently waiting for a call back from the aclu. They will not get away with this.
You've got to be trolling. Lol
Yeah just being a smartass. The feddiverse is open and free…instances are run by people who can do whatever they want. That’s the beauty of it.
It's not forced... it's the point. People SHOULD have multiple accounts
Until accounts can be migrated or users are disconnected from the instances, this will be a huge limit of Lemmy over other social media. Having to maintain multiple accounts on the same platform simply to view all the content you want will deter users.
Having multiple accounts is a core part of lemmy and is why it's so integrated into the apps and quick to access. People just are used to a single (commercial)entity controlling everything for them that they are having a hard time realizing they need to control it themselves. I agree it would be nice to link accounts in a more seamless way so they are less tied to instances but that is not a huge price to pay imho.
