You can't block a whole instance yet, may be what you're thinking of.

Do you know why its Google Play rating is so abysmal? Everyone seems furious about some redesign, but lemmy loves it.
That seems to add a single point of failure for some key functionality. And who owns that server? Can they be bought out by Meta pretending to be a good citizen?
What do you mean by "snag that exact name on Lemmy"? The same community name can be used across multiple instances, so you'd only be snagging it for the instance you create it in.
Voices sounding off are very different to voices calling for execution, possibly encouraging vigelante violence. It's the latter that goes beyond political ideas and becomes opportunistic demagoguery.
This is what's amazing. They could make a good, ad-supported app, but they seem to insist they don't need to while wondering why everyone's angry about third party apps going away.
If a company can't work out how to recognise and understand quality work wherever and however it's done, that's a bad company and that company is going to promote worse options. There's nothing inherent in working from home that makes progression bad, just a company that isn't bothering to adapt.
That said I agree in person interactions are invaluable - just not that a huge amount of them are necessary to progress the best people.
Tags is a cool idea to help users find posts or communities on specific topics.
But taking away the different communities on the same topic is misunderstanding one of the key benefits of the fediverse over Reddit. I might want to talk about horses in a different way, with different people, operating under different rules, to the way others might want to talk about horses. The fediverse allows that, without having RealHorseTalk and RealRealHorseTalk nonsense.
Better UI and categorisation tools, yes. That'll help make sense of this for new users. But don't take away an actually positive aspect of the fediverse just to make it look more like Reddit.
This is such a clever part of the protocol. So many different UIs are possible with the same underlying framework and data.
Why would it be an issue for career progression? Work is work.
is it just me or are these devs doing everything right? Incredibly informative, really frequent and detailed communication, and the product is looking to be a solid, significant improvement but largely in uncontroversial ways on the first game. Make everyone happy, alienate no-one. They seem so in tune with their player base, it's rare to see. (Fingers crossed it remains so).
This has come up as part of those requests to migrate accounts between instances. "I want a persona that stays with me for years"... Is that actually a good idea though!?
