There was an issue on Reddit a while back where people would post some hateful stuff, and of course lots of people blocked them.

After a while, anti-trans, racist, and far-right-wing stuff were only seen by non-logged in users, other bigots, or new people, and they weren’t getting the downvotes they deserved.

Is this going to be a problem on Lemmy too? I’m worried that if we’re all blocking shitty users that we’re just hiding the problem from ourselves, not fixing it.

    Also, unlike reddit, it’s somewhat difficult to browse the Fediverse without being logged in

    I strongly disagree with that part

      Indeed. I find the inverse to be true. It’s getting harder and harder to browse Reddit without being logged in, but Lemmy is no problem.
