    I had to join a defederated server after the mods sent hexbear users my way to harass he after a I reported users for harassment…

    As someone no longer part of their drama, yall should defederate.

      I thought users could individually block comms now. For example i tried blocking lemmy.world and while that was in place i didn’t see comments from there. Is this not the case for you?

        You can block an instance, but not all users from that instance. It’s essentially a “don’t see this instances posts” option.

          Oh. I saw a ton of hidden comments i could not view when i blocked .world (cuz of facebook, not the lovely commenters). I thought that was because i blocked the comm they were coming from.

                Sorry, to be clear I meant “block this instance” is a Lemmy feature, but “block users from a blocked instance” is likely client side. And to be clear, the web front ends are also clients. Many of them are non standard.

                If you look at the description of the instance blocking, it says it doesn’t block users.

                Didn’t mean to confuse things, I should have been more clear.

                  Ah yes i see. I’m out of my depth when it comes to the tech side of how this all works clearly. I also admit my experience was just from a end-user perspective and not like, scientific. Youre saying i am incorrect in my belief that blocking instances blocks comments from that instance? If that is the case i will look back into blocking the instance itself because blocking the users was not my intent
