I started gathering some thoughts to make a post - I had intended [email protected] but it could be cross-posted, or whatever - about ways to block an instance. I got stuck with Mbin but finally have what I need there. The thing is: I lack the knowledge of which Lemmy apps will allow you to implement user blocks - and I mean the full defederation kind, not just the mere "community blocking" that does not block the comment replies of users from those instances. Do you know more about that? If you could give me a paragraph or table or link to point to or some such, then perhaps this weekend I could try to write that post.

No idea about that point specifically unfortunately. My idea was more to discuss the instance choice rather than the blocking.

At this point, the only way to implement blocking is to switch instances, it would seem. Or at least get an app, though that is the part that I know the least about. I switched instances myself specifically for this feature - and we've been saying how superb Discuss.Online is even, all the more notable for a smaller instance! - but I'm not sure how many others would think similarly. Still, they could be told that it's an option. Or perhaps [email protected] is almost dead at this point, with so few posts? Then again it's not the number that matters, if the content is relevant.
