Depicting a heap of contorted bodies and screaming faces, the statue was unveiled Tuesday as part of an exhibition of “forbidden art” that organizers said had been censored or “deemed subversive” by Hong Kong and mainland China.
The exhibition was hosted by Jens Galschiøt, the Danish artist behind the famous sculpture, and Kira Marie Peter-Hansen, a member of the European Parliament (MEP). A further six MEPs, including representatives from each of the parliament’s five largest political coalitions, were listed as co-hosts.
LoL… I have a relatively limited Blocklist of tankies and therefore do not see any of their drivel anymore. Seriously, just block the names you recognize… at 20 your Lemmy experience will be much more sane.
I tend to block anyone with an @hexbear on sight even if they’re making an innocuous comment. It’s takes a certain type of person to choose that instance. I’m at like 30 blocks including their instance and yea my feed is solid.
I don’t think many of them are people, they’re LLMs. Those that are actually people didn’t choose Hexbear, their bosses who pay them to be shills chose it.
Similar problems at lemmy.ml but not as bad.
Same. Lemmygrad is also on my shitlist.
The instance I’m on is (was?) federated with hexbear. As soon as instance blocking was added as a feature I blocked hexbear and lemmygrad. It was a drastic improvement.
I’ve got 53 users blocked, plus 2 instances and a dozen or so communities on otherwise sane instances. Lemmy is nice now.
Right? It is wonderfull. I also ended up blocking lemmy.ml and switching all .ml communities to alternatives. That is also a step I can recommend.
Yeah I’ve blocked most communities there except for a handful that don’t have real alternatives, else I would.
Can you share the blocklist on lemmy, and am I able to import it?
Seems not to be the case… At least there’s no straightforward way. I guess I could just copy & paste the list from my settings, but you’d still have to add them manually, one by one.
That’s a good question, I have no idea. Let me poke around a bit.
