Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    Not the users though. I have .ml blocked, which means communities hosted there (therefore moderated by them) don’t show up. However I still have to read their tankie comments.

      And they can vote on your content, reply to you, send you DMs, triggering notifications, etc. The “instance block” doesn’t really block much at all…

      Moving to PieFed is about the only realistic way to be able to block all users from an instance. (Otherwise there’s Sync and Connect, neither of which are updated iirc, and from there you start getting into custom uBlock Origin filtering rules… PieFed is just way easier, plus has tons of other features that Lemmy lacks and likely will either never have or at least will take many years to begin to catch up, at which point PieFed will continually have added even moar-er features… it’s a virtuous cycle:-)
