I would prefer to avoid having to ban every individual page on each instance that gains in popularity across lemmy.
Is the only option to host one myself?
I definitely agree. The approach lemmy world took of catering to the reddit crowd and trying to become the biggest instance hosting all communities in one place was always doomed to create that sort of atmosphere. And open sign ups are a part of that issue. I spent a pretty long time on lemmy before making an account and settling on dbzer0 because it’s an anarchist instance. And people should’ve been encouraged to find an instance that’s right for them.
I’ve already blocked world since I’m using connect and my browsing experience is so much better again. The amount of reddit libs on .world is completely insufferable.
