  It doesn’t work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance “block” (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view

  Lemmy’s “block” still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that they’ve been known to do

  And it still allows conspiracy theories, propaganda and misinformation to spread and fester and affect users who are unaware

  They literally have articles over there spreading the Russian propaganda that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because it’s “full of Nazis”

  Besides this is the Threadiverse, there will always be an instance with wide federation if you as an individual choose to open yourself up to that kind of “content”

    You should make a fork with a block that works!

      If I was proficient enough in Rust, I would have, or someone else would have long ago

      Rust isn’t exactly a very popular language in open source right now due to its difficulty

    Brigading is a feature of Lemmy.

  I can block .ml communities in my GUI. But I can’t block its users, unless I go 1 by 1. Blocking the communities is big, but not enough.

    I think you can block the entire instance, not community by community or user by user.

      By user blocking an instance you just “hide” the posts of that instance, not their users, so you’ll still see their interactions on posts of other instances even yours
