My blocked community list got significantly shorter when they introduced instance blocking. Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.
I have 7 instances blocked. I'm really glad that you can block instances while not blocking the users of those instances. Like I don't want to see any posts from yiffit but being a furry doesn't mean your comments aren't worth reading, ya know?
The other blocked instances are porn and language-specific instances just to clean up my feed
I would love it if blocking all users from an inatance was available as a separate option from the users. I think the majority of my blocked users are from two instances.
Hexbear and lemmy.ml?
The fact that you can so easily guess which two instances proves it would be a useful tool to be able to block all their users.
Yes, those two.
Good to know! I didn't want to miss out on @[email protected] comments, but now I won't have to worry about it.
I did. Those usernames are too distracting and shout "look at me!", so I'm filtering all of them.
I totally agree. Before I found the option to disable custom display names, I found that guy insufferable...2024 equivalent of xXxUSERNAMExXx. I don't think I've noticed him since, though I'm sure I've read his comments
Coincidentally, the furry porn whack-off-a-mole community is not very popular.
Be the change you want to see. (:
I'm this close to blocking ani.social as well because it's mostly softcore porn. I like Anime, but not like this.
I added that one fast for the same reason. I am not an anime-hater but there's way too much horny anime getting posted for my liking. Too many -chan characters that look basically identical middle schoolers.
I'm gonna need a list of these ridiculous communities. You know, to block them. /S
