worldnews at .ml is a dumpster fire. First community I had to completely scrub from my instance because it was just so toxic from top to bottom.
Edit: Also, will share my last comment there before I self-banned and purged that cesspit from my instance. This is in reply to someone making a fat joke about Kim Jong Un:
I tried to give that instance the benefit of the doubt at first, but I just block all lemmy.ml communities when I see them now. There’s just too much user and ideology overlap with lemmygrad and hexbear. The worldnews sub was especially bad though. Disinformation & insults everywhere, but they’re never removed despite reports, because they’re part of their side & agenda. It’s basically lemmygrad in disguise.
I don’t block them, but I use non-ml communities in preference to ml-based communities. I don’t think that I’m currently subscribed to any ml-based communities.
And fuck off whoever that tells me again to set up my own instance. What I want is popular instance admins and mods to pull out the stick out of their asses, because free speech instances that get defederated at the speed of light are of no use.
And there’s no seamless multiaccount Lemmy client yet.

I use lemmy.today. The instance policy there is to try to avoid any defederation, and thus far, it has an empty blocklist.
Now, that doesn’t mean that there won’t also be instances that will defederate with your favorite instance. But, you know, people aren’t required to listen. You can only speak to people who want to hear what you want to say. I think that that’s probably really the only reasonable way for things to work. I mean, even user-level user blocking and choosing what communities to view is a form of filtering content.

Good 'ol ambiguous Rule 1 lol
What you didn’t realize is that Kim Jong II is actually the mod
Margaret Cho played the absolute hell out of that role 😆
You too, huh!

Fucking mods, this is Reddit all over again.

Seriously though you’re making demands that other people work for free in a manner that will benefit you.
Way I see it, either take some of the free lunch that’s on offer or make your own.

…except all of them. At least for Android.
Here’s the one’s I’ve used with seamless multiaccount functionality: Liftoff (RIP), Jerboa, Thunder, Connect, Boost, and Voyager
Sync too, but I only used it briefly because fuck ads.
