Yeah I think it's about time to get that feature. As a user I have preferences that don't necessarily match with the defederation policies of any instance and I would very much like to choose for myself which instances I want to see.
In my case: I'm not interested in polarising, divisive, toxic content and I really don't care if it's coming from the left or from the right. But it seems to me that I have to choose a side, because some instances are blocking the right wing extremism and some blocking the stuff to the left, but not both.
Reading subscribed communities only is not an option, because then I will miss out on new stuff. And blocking all these awful communities in "all" by hand is too much work.
tl;dr not being able to block instances as a user is giving me a bad Lemmy experience
The extremist propaganda has mostly killed the considerable excitement I had about Lemmy.
It's made me seen how many shortcomings Lemmy has and it's soured me too.
I just wanted a chill place like I saw when i left Reddit on July 1st and now it's just become almost as toxic here.
I can't imagine people would have flocked to this site in July if this shit was happening back then.
I think it's even more toxic here, easily. I'm still here and hopeful about the fediverse, but at this rate the clock is ticking.
Let this man enjoy his yellow scare cartoons in peace god damn you all
Wait until they figure out literally any content is politics
Noooo my completely apolitical little tv shows and vidya gayms ):
