So I’ve added lemmy.ml to my block list, but I still see posts from that instance on c/progressivepolitics. Why? Is that not how blocking works?
You must log in or register to comment.
Why are you blocking lemmy.ml to begin with? Sure some of their users are annoying as fuck but you’ll find people like that anywhere online.
Sure, you’ll find them anywhere, but .ml and the tankie triad are a concentrated cesspool of them
they are just the mirror of conservatives. i blocked them too. but its the USers infiltrating that are the problem. sometimes they create a account in another instance and then post tankie comments.
I can block anything I want to. That’s part of the point of the fediverse.
You’re free to do so. I wasn’t trying to suggest otherwise. I just don’t see the point is all.
Nevermind, I get it now.
There are few things more annoying on lemmy than seeing a post about Russia on your feed, forgetting to check the instance, then getting your comment removed because you were critical of them.
Whatever do you mean? Russia is clearly a communist Utopia that invaded Ukraine to get the Nazis. With 100% legitimate elections that have no undue influence what so ever.
Users are not blocked, which is strange, but I have the same issue/feature. Only instances are blocked. I guess they have a different definition of blocking than I have.
Yup, it would be much better if it just blocked all users from the instance as well. Or it at least gave you the option for the shittier instances.
You still see the users of the blocked instance if they post to a not blocked instance. You only really block all the communities on the instance with an instance block.
Lemmy devs really need to rethink the way this currently works. Users are trying to filter the signal to noise ratio on this platform, and this isn’t helping.
