Holy shit, two in a row! I’m in awe over here. I bow down to the master of cleverness.
Man, one of these days you’re gonna have to teach me how to be clever like you are, I’m so fuckin’ jealous.
You can literally miss 100% of the content from lemmit by blocking one bot. Why would you ever want this instance to defederate and deny everyone else the option to be able to choose if they want to see that content or not?
So that’s what hitting a nerve looks like.
Neat!
Ah. Not worth giving up compact view, IMO, but good to know.
I can think of plenty of reasons. Lately with the hexbear nonsense, there are tons of seemingly normal sounding communities that you might click on and not realize that you’re being fed propaganda without even knowing it.
Also I saw a community called spoilers yesterday but it was on an instance dedicated to magic the gathering, so I guess the community was dedicated to talking about spoilers from within the game itself. But if all you see is spoilers, it wouldn’t be obvious at all. There are tons of examples of things like this happening when instances are specific. If there’s a community all about sports but it’s hosted on an instance from Australia, that might not be relevant to someone who isn’t from Australia.
More importantly, as with any other feature request, this should be made as an option. If you don’t like it, then don’t enable the option. People that would get benefit from it could choose to enable it. Win/win. I have no idea why anyone would ever argue for optional features to ever not be added. As far as the space restriction goes, it’s already an option to be able to see individual users full instance name, I don’t know why this would take up any more space. It should be exactly the same amount.
Or iOS users
Not everyone uses Android.
I can’t wait until I am able to block any and all communication from that cesspool of an instance.
I would absolutely hate for that decision to be made for me however.
Thank you for giving me the choice and the satisfaction of being able to personally remove them from my personal feed.
I just don’t know why they have to go with such weird colors for this and the zero. I’d take black, white, grey, or even an actual red or blue or really any other primary color over these pastel offerings. I have almost no use for one of these but if it was offered in a normal color, I’d order one right away.
You know, most questions have question marks. Might be helpful in preventing other people from thinking this was a guide thread and not a question.
