    You know that you can block instances yourself? Like you don’t have to be forced to see their stuff. I think some of y’all enjoy whinging about shit for the sake of it.

      Blocks don’t hide your posts from them or prevent them from responding to your comments.

        And?

        Seeing “there is no record of this comment” in a chain brings me sexual pleasure.

        Die in your hole, person I disagree with!

        Plus you still get to see the replies to the comment, usually them being dunked on by other Lemmings.

        But it blocks all posts that are posted to communities on on that instance, so it guts 90% of the shit you don’t want to see. Just block users when they piss you off.

        The constant posting of hatred towards other instances is just as if not more annoying to me than the dumb shit hexbear comes out with.

          It’s not that I don’t want to see them, it’s just I don’t want to waste my time replying to anything when anything other than “DAE hate westoids?” gets deleted right away.

          Blocking instances only blocks posts from them, not comments.

          You should check piefed (piefed.social , join.piefed.social) it has support for lemmy and proper instance blocking.

              Whats interesting about piefed is that everything is prerendered - it doesn’t use an api, unlike lemmy. Of course, an api is in the works, and the dev of thunder made a PoC.

                I had no idea everything was pre-rendered. That’s super interesting

          I use the Alexandrite version of lemmy.world (https://a.lemmy.world/) and in that you have a hamburger menu at the end of the persons comment, one of the options is block.

          I think you can block an instance in your user Settings - Block - Instances.

          If you’re using a phone app, it’s going to vary depending on the app.
