Comment on Any plans to refederate with lemmygrad when client side instance blocking will be available?

Fuck, I hope not. Let them stay inside their tankie circle-jerk.
I wish my instance had client-side blocking available to users though… :(

Oh, i thought that was introduced with v 0.19? And that is what lemm.ee is running on?

I can block communities, I can’t block instances AFAIK. If I could, I’d block all of Lemmygrad, and Hexbear too.

If i’m not mistaken you should be able to block instances now i have not had a look at it because lemmy.world is still on v 0.18.

I’m just not so cool with dealing with people that justify genocide, y’know? Or glorify the USSR and China, while refusing to acknowledge the horrible abuses that happened–and continue to happen in China–under nominally communist governments. Anarchists–that would be people like me–were historically murdered by communist parties and governents as being ‘counter-revolutionary’. I can recognize that the US is a cesspool, but the fact that the US is so often on the wrong moral side doesn’t mean that the USSR was or China is on the right moral side; both can be wrongin different ways. Lemmygrad (and Hexbear to a large extent) refuse to recognize that.

The instance blocking feature you speak of only blocks communities, it won’t block users from the instance, it says this right on the change log for 0.19 on join-lemmy.org
So the deep cultural and behavioral problems with these instance aren’t solved by this instance blocking implementation like everyone says, it can’t be considered a replacement for defederation or moderation. I really hope that people, especially Admins realize this before making decisions to refederate, otherwise it could end badly.
