any discourse here is almost immediately met with deletions and bans … trigger happy mods
This really depends what instance you go to and what their standards of moderation are. If you’re not happy with your current instance admins / community moderators, then go to another instance or another community (or petition your current mods/admins to improve the situation).
I get controls to block all of the communities that I don’t want to listen to … Lemmy gives you the ability to block instances
Yes, mostly. Keep in mind that blocking communities and instances only affects which posts you see in their feed - the members of those communities and instances still get to vote on the other stuff that is in your feed and affect the post ranking in that way. The only way to avoid that is defederation.

Wouldn’t an instance-level block fix this?
no distinction in NSFW topics either - whereas there should be NSFW (Porn) and NSF[L] (Gore), etc.
Tbf this is no different than Reddit and there’s a lack of support in the underlying protocol - it’s not entirely clear how this should be more generally implemented either. You probably want a more generalized tagging system, not just one additional category on top of NSFW.
Nah, it’s not really like that - I don’t focus on looking for that stuff. Seeing a naked woman or two in between my feed is no problem. Seeing a guy with a pickle jar up his ass and the entirety of his intestines through the transparent glass…not so much.

Who says I want to block everything from there? There’s no way to whitelist.
Right - perhaps an alternative user for your “scientific research” is an appropriate measure in that case? :P just a suggestion
