Not because I've had any kind of bad experience with users on this instance, but I don't care for the posts on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I honestly just got tired of seeing the "Rule" posts; it's like 90% of their posts!
You could just block 196
That's a good point. Honestly I didn't notice all of those posts were from a single community, though in hindsight that makes a lot of sense.
How do you have them blocked? Is it just communities hosted there don't appear or do you not see the uswrs' comments elsewhere too?
In Settings > Blocks > Blocked Instances
I think it's just the communities that don't appear.
I guess you can't read this but I'm on lemmy.blahaj.zone and I personally blocked the rule community. It's too many posts and doesn't fit the vibe
Actually I can read this. Apparently blocking instances doesn't block their comments in communities that aren't hosted on the blocked instance.
oh nice
Can someone please explain all the .ml hate? From what I've seen, it's mostly a tech (i.e., not tank!) instance and I haven't experienced any drama at all aside from other instances hating on us. It seems WAY too overblown and generalized from my experience. If the OP blocked .ml are they even able to see my response here?
the tech side of .ml is why I haven't blocked that instance. They genuinely care about privacy and FOSS, as is the instance description. When I joined lemmy, I considered .ml for my home instance.
As soon as politics comes up though, the tankies come out in force, and oh boy the temptation to get banned is real.

I think I blocked some porn instance but otherwise nothing.
I'm not the kind of guy who must block something I don't agree with.
Nor am I. I'm also not the sort of person who expresses their comments in absolute terms.
For now, I blocked three communities, one about gossiping and two about adult material. I also blocked a bot that keeps cross posting things from Reddit. That's all that I blocked so far.
I honestly appreciate the alternative perspective of some of the other instances but it just gets toxic, unfortunately.
The only instance I've blocked is nsfw because I'm not into porn. The others have never bothered me.
I never block anyone or any instance. I simply ignore them. I also use the subscribed feed, so what most of the people say about hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. content filling their feed also does not affect me.
