The women in the cartoon are not being bitchy to eachother either, are they?

It's a stereotype about women complimenting eachother while not actually meaning it. It's a joke. Look at the upvote / downvote ratio. Most people get it. You're in the minority here being offended by it. Recreational outrage so to speak.

My blocklist is already over 500 users long. I don't block people for disagreeing with me. The bubble I'm building for myself is a bubble free from unreasonable assholes.

However, you didn't really answer my question. Blocking an entire instance is already a feature. That's way more 'heavy handed' than what I'm suggesting.

Why is it deeply misogynistic?

Adblocker works on twitter too though, and I don't really mind Elon profiting from my use of Twitter anyway. People should be compensated for running social media platforms like twitter.

What about Lemmy instances defederating others? We not hearing from people on Twitter, Threads, Facebook, Truth Social and Gap either, and what about the block feature in itself? If what I'm asking is 'issue for society,' then are these not?

I don't think anyone is in the position to dictate what everyone's social media feeds should consist of. If someone wants to make them a perfect information bubble, devoid of different opinions, then let them. That's of no harm to me.

Amazing how they can be wrong about literally everything while we're right on every issue.

I post gay porn. The number or right-wing rednecks that follow me with their public profiles is.. confusing.

I tend to feel that if it’s a streaming service providing access to a wide range of videos, it could be argued that you don’t own them and, therefore, can’t download them either. However, you could still have the option to pay extra to actually purchase the video too. That money should go to the creator, though, who, of course, would also set the price. That could be free too. I, for example, have no issue with people watching my car repair 'tutorials' on YouTube for free.

Sure, I have nothing against that. I, however, still think that whatever platform hosts their videos deserves some compensation, right? So that's going to be either subscribtion, ads or donations.

Ok, but 'fuck subscriptions' is a blanket statement directed at the subscribtion business model as whole, including the hypothetical well run, and non-greedy ones.
