PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an [email protected] (the more serious pendant to [email protected] ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed.
It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block.
And keywords. I'm not interested in Musk or Zuckerberg in any way. Most of the articles mentioning their names in the title are just sensationalist clickbait anyway.
Good to know giving more of the blocking power to individuals instead of instance owners is good imo. Only issue is when someone inevitable starts distributing blocklists we start raisijg all sorts of questions about who what why etc that might be very difficult to solve
I think that blocklist will stay very user-dependent, except for obvious spam instances which should be blocked at the instance level. But we'll see how it goes.
I’m surprised if anyone can successfully moderate a large lemmy community at all, considering there are no tools in place to provide notifications for reports - through email or other means.
I would like to block image posts. posts which are links to images. I do not want to see them here or there or anywhere. I will not have them in a tree with a chicken. or on the floor with my ass. please stop it.
