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

You can block it for yourself if that works for you. You donât have to limit other peopleâs options.

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

By user blocking an instance you just âhideâ the posts of that instance, not their users, so youâll still see their interactions on posts of other instances even yours

It doesnât work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance âblockâ (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view
Lemmyâs âblockâ still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that theyâve 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 itâs âfull of Nazisâ
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 âcontentâ

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 isnât exactly a very popular language in open source right now due to its difficulty

Brigading is a feature of Lemmy.
