Many instances have de-federated with LemmyGrad and Hexbear, which are considered to be badly behaved at the level of the administrators.
The instance to which you object is not similarly problematic. Rather, you feel annoyed by the political leanings, even while the community is permissive of varied political orientations.
Instances may be blocked in your user account, in case doing so makes your personal experience feel more relaxed or productive. You may also consider restricting your participation to communities that enforce a conformity you find suitable. There are plenty of safe spaces in the world for convicted liberals.

No, that’s close to describing the problem, but doesn’t quite describe the issue accurately. The problem is that the quality of the propaganda from that instance is distasteful to me. Consistently so. This post is an obvious example.
Also the level of discourse by the users from that instance is problematic as well. You’re right that the problem is more subtle than with people from hexbear and lemmygrad, but there clearly are plenty of problematic and loud users in lemmy.ml as well.
You probably wouldn’t call the level of discourse in Twitter “annoying” either, would you?

Yes, I have instance-level blocked lemmy.ml long ago. But the block doesn’t seem to be doing much. Definitely not the same effect as when an instance blocks another instance.
All that said, you may be right that I shouldn’t be so harsh against lemmy.ml. There are also many high-quality posters in there, and blocking individual users might be enough.
Yes, that’s the reason. Not your incessant peddling of obvious bullshit into everybody’s mouths. I’m also defending your freedom to block obvious shit instances, whatever you might think that means.
I wish instance blocks would also block all posts from people from the instance.
What does it even do, actually? Just block the communities in the instance?

The community is maintained as permissive.
Defederation requires major consideration, if instance administrators are to remain responsible to their users broadly.
You may feel more comfortable in communities that enforce more narrow constraints.
Don’t shoot the message, shoot the messenger.
Oh no, did the meme about how dog shit your worldview is irritate you?
Liberals getting mad because they can’t block ideas from their feeds is hilarious.
Yes, that’s the reason. Not your incessant peddling of obvious bullshit into everybody’s mouths. I’m also defending your freedom to block obvious shit instances, whatever you might think that means.
Same; “obvious bullshit” is what I call sound reasoning that I don’t like too /s
.ml does a fantastic job of maintaining its echo chamber so there’s a proverb about glass houses and stones that comes to mind.
It’s a fact that .ml doesn’t block liberal instances. Yet .world blocks leftist instances. You’re in the glass house, dumbass.
I’m surprised dumbass isn’t on your instance’s naughty word list.
There are plenty of echo chambers of every variety and orientation. The value of federation is to produce an experience that is varied and complete.
