I don’t think I can help her become more comfortable with HER sexual side;

Well you could start by not calling her attempts to make advances “childish”. In those instances when she does her advances, how exactly are you communicating with her? How do you react, what do you tell her?

If she’s genuinely trying to be affectionate with you but gets shut down, it’s not hard to see why she wouldn’t be partiularly into it. So it definitely would be a good idea to find out how she feels about your reactions to her advances.

I don’t think Lemmy proper has that feature yet, but some apps might.

Other than that you could open an account on an instance more in line with your prefered blocks or use kbin which already allows for instance blocking.

From the twitch pages

The desktop web browser experience of twitch.tv and supporting sites, officially support the latest two versions of Google Chrome, the latest two versions of Mozilla Firefox, the most recent version of Microsoft Edge, and the most recent version of Apple Safari.

What’s your browser version OP, so we can rule out whether it’s just a version issue

Yeah, on a more practical note, the liftoff lemmy app has lemmy.world baked in (and makes it fairly easy to add other instances to) which is a fairly big instance so its all feed could be a good point to start adding stuff in a fairly straightforward way. Not saying that’s as good as adding better discovery to mainline lemmy, but maybe a somewhat low barrier option to share with people who might find it useful in the meantime

Oh, okay, so you’re talking about a case scenario where you’re on a small/new instance that also isn’t your own. Got it, dunno why I was making a different assumption. Yeah, I can see what you’re talking about then.

Ok fair enough, but that isn’t exactly a hard hurdle to overcome.

Umm, all of what you are describing already exists and is basically how lemmy works. The local feed would always be empty on your newly setup instance if course, precisely because it is the “local” feed. If you want to see the feed of all the instances you are federating with, that’s “all” (or whatever it’s called on your specific client).

Limiting the visibility of somebody voice is also censorship

It’s not (always). Especially if the people “limiting your voice” are the ones giving you the platform to reach other people in the first place, usually out of their own pocket or thanks to donations. In the fediverse at least you can always set up your own instance.

Not really. You can just switch instances if you’re not happy with your admin’s policies. Although figuring out who is federating with whom could be a bit more straightforward.

The alternative would be giving no option of defederation and making live a living hell for mods and admins. They’re already doing unpaid work in almost all cases so nobody would profit from driving them towards burnout, which is still all too common as it is.

People not wanting to engage with other people is not censorship. Nobody is entitled to someone else’s attention.
