Overall it’s probably a good thing that it happened on a single instance so it’s easy to identify …?
yes, particularly with the upcoming user-level instance block feature
I'm bout to never see shit again from .worlders, .works folk, AND from those .dbzero techbro wankstains
I definitely get the desire to block instances, but there are also some good commenters from .world (though they are usually the minority) and I would like to see their contributions still. Blocking individual users is a bigger pain, but results in a better experience in the long term IMO.
It makes me appreciate that our admins only defend from truly scum-of-the-earth instances. As much as .world feels like Stormfront at tines, they're no Exploding Heads.
And these theoretical good .worlders can move if that's the case; otherwise, I don't have an issue not seeing them based on the behavior of their peers.
Today I stumbled on some of the .world and kbin posts and comments you interacted with over the last week. Yeah, I think I get why you're ok blocking them now.
I'm looking forward to the sweeping sense of relieved stress that not even having to observe such ignorance will bring me, I'm not even playing
If I've understood it correctly, the new feature will only let you block posts from that instance, so you'll still see their comments
I hated that feature on reddit. It was just a tool for people to be cowards and try to get the last word in leaving no right of reply to their bullshit.
It's an instance block, not a personal block. There isn't a reddit equivalent for it as it's a feature that only makes sense for federated social media.
Oh I see thanks.
Ya. Makes it easy to spot that they're from the "reddit instance"
