Oddly, I don’t feel disgusted about having a robust list of blocked users, communities, and domains on the fediverse. Instead it actually feels like I have some level of control over what I see, rather than say, “suggesting” to YouTube that I don’t want to see more neo-nazi propaganda and hoping it actually listens to me.
Same, I’ve blocked everyone I’ve encountered with a @hexbear so far.
Some of the apps like Connect just let you block the entire instance which is much nicer. Hopefully this becomes standard. It also has keyword filters.
I just hope lemmy by itself will do that soon, its a necessary feature to have that (and yes i know but i also kinda tell those people to suck my jar bottom before blocking)
