Programming.Dev
Im going to be trying to set up a tech corner similar to what Programming.Dev did last year with the dark theme zone. Any groups who want to join on around the area feel free to reach out and we can do stuff like merge templates
I mainly use linkstack https://linkstack.org/, git repo: https://github.com/LinkStackOrg/LinkStack
Theres an instance for the programming.dev instance if you want an example of how it looks https://me.programming.dev (weve got a space-like theme on it)
Its happening once a year so likely in the summer
Im working on another event that may happen next month though depending on if I finish the rest of the things to do in my queue of projects !safe_crackers@programming.dev
(so this and canvas will be 6 months apart from each other)
There is technically a roundabout way you can do it although it involves a bit of actions
I havent fully tested it so may need some variation of the actions to work but:
We usually hide bot communities here which would include zerobytes but my hiding system recently broke a bit due to the 0.19 update so I haven't hid any recently
I can fix that and hide the new communities that popped up
(Hiding just means they dont show on the feeds by default but show for someone if they subscribe to them)
Edit: Fixed the issues with my system and hid the main ones that appeared in the scaled feed, ill hide more as I see them
Edit #2: There is also a way to block an instance like you said by going to your user settings and then the blocks tab on web but this is one case that should be getting handled by us
Looks like a camelCase variable to me so its likely just a temporary word they replace with the actual bot name but something went wrong and it didn't replace it properly leading to the temporary text showing instead
There could be some other reasons but the actual cause cant really be determined without looking at the source code

This is a collecting community that gets every topic in the instance (so people can go to it and then be naturally sent into the other ones in the instance) so questions in here are fine.
The main question communities in the instance though are:
!no_stupid_questions@programming.dev
!ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev
!cs_career_questions@programming.dev
they do an allowlist rather than a blocklist (defederate with everyone by default, explicitly allow certain ones). the two were removed from their allowlist
Theres technically a code review community at !code_review@programming.dev although ive seen some people also post code reviews in the language/engine communities
