Mind you, there were subreddits that employed this technique of banning users subscribed or active in other communities they didn't like or approved of. So I guess that would be nothing new. I just wish there was a user-side way to block, at the very least the content coming from instances you don't want to follow. But then you could be still engaged by the users coming from these instances. Then again there are ass hats everywhere.
Blocking people for subscribing or participating in certain communities was the most childish part of spezland. It seemed like a esclating war of control rather than a forum for communication. Good riddens!
It was a general filter, one that isn't necessarily just, but sometimes needed to lessen the amount of moderation needed to do. I'm talking about when it was actually used to protect community and not because of personal grudges or for silly wars between subreddits
Current option is block these 5 communities:
