  whuh? why does a front-end have the ‘permission’ to block users? shouldn’t that fall to the instance instead?

    And that, you see, is the crux of everybody’s objection to it.

    Well from what i know it’s not really blocked, the targetted users and communities get their content either not displayed, either as an error message. They’re technically there, not blocked, but the frontend chooses to hide them.

    Yeah it doesn’t need “permission”, that’s the thing. Dude just made it so the things or people he didn’t like caused “error messages.”

    My guess is that the blocking is done client-side.

  Apparently it also includes opinions such as, “penguins are cool,” and “check out this silly knife.”

  At just a quick glance, I don’t see my account listed but my username is in the regex. lol

  • Mr_Fish@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I’m the same. I think you’re blocked if either is true

    • Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      That’s correct. The regex based blocking will block the username on any instance
