Comment on High court quashes Albanese government’s ankle bracelet and curfew regime for former immigration detainees

  I’m cool with the government not treating immigrants and asylum seekers as evil, and robbing them of their rights because of the actions of some of their cohort.

      But this persons posts are still showing up? Shouldn’t they be blocked?

      The way I understood the Blocked Instances setting to behave, I would have thought so. But as Blaze responded in that Meta thread, what this setting does is suppress that instance’s communities from your feeds - not its users (though there is a separate setting to block individual users that I have employed and can confirm it works as advertised). That seems a bit half-hearted of a feature. Hopefully Lemmy will at least offer you the option of blocking the users as well as the communities in the next release (due “soon”^tm^).

      In the interim, the advice in the linked post suggests using an app instead of the main Web UI, I use Boost personally and can see it has a block instance feature. I haven’t played with it, though.

      Can’t imagine any good reason you decided to block the largest queer instance on Lemmy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  estimates.

  And if they commited crimes, you ding them on the fucking crimes. You don’t ding them for being asylum seekers.
