Global tech layoffs are accelerating in 2026, with more than 80,000 jobs already cut in the first quarter and total losses likely to exceed 3 lakh this year, led by companies like Oracle, Amazon, and Meta, according to a report.
I don’t know if there is an instance-neutral way to give directions, but for me I could get a convenient list of all of their usernames as links by using the search function. Then, on desktop, I could open all of them in different tabs (for me it’s middle mouse button to open without changing tabs), then put my cursor over ‘block user’ and use the keyboard shortcut for closing a tab (crtl-w for me) to block them all in under a minute.
Nothing really, they’re just the largest instance, so by virtue of having a massive population, they have a large number of people with shitty opinions.
Per capita, they’re a fine instance. Not like ml, lemmygrad or hexbear, who have a much higher number of people with shitty opinions per capita
Lemmy.world is required to uphold German law, which is becoming increasingly draconic in forbidding advocacy for justice for the Palestinian people. Its moderators are happy to play cops.
One of the way social media federation can fail is that if everybody goes onto the same instance, that instance has a de facto monopoly again. Reddit didn’t have to kill other websites, those websites atrophied naturally because reddit is where everything is happening. This would make our community vulnerable to issues with the instance, in this case the legal jurisdiction.
So as a user, I vote with my feet. I’ve likewise blocked lemmy.ml communities and dbzer0 communities for denying or excusing genocide by the USSR and China and for their support and heavy use of generative AI respectively.
I don’t pre-emptively block users from these instances because users can make new accounts on other instances easily, so I trust you to do that when you feel uncomfortable with your current instance. But communities have inertia, and are likely to stay long after their moderators and users have grown to dislike the instance, so I make it easier by being social elsewhere.
I found Lemmy world kind of basic/conservative. Not like far-right, but more passive “don’t say anything too mean about the power structures that hurt you”. Just an impression, no real data to back it up.
Downvote, block OP and move on. The lemmyverse is small enough that manual curation is viable, especially after you block lemmy.world communities.
This particular account has dozens of alts across as many instances
The link in the bio has a list of accounts so that people who don’t want to see the posts can block them
Ah. Thankfully, they all have the same username.

Mr Kaplan (mod) and the Zionist apologists. People are sick of Israel’s shit and tired of the excuses.
