@CogitoErgoBloom @lealternative @jakob @fishidwardrobe You are right. Blocking an instance is a last resort, but sometimes there’s nothing else you can do. After all, if a user remains inside a problematic instance, it means that it too is problematic.
@CogitoErgoBloom be careful, because the spam problem on Lemmy is a bit different from the spam problem on Mastodon (and other microblogging systems).
It is sufficient that the Lemmy user IS NOT SUBSCRIBED to a community to not see the contents of that community.
The Mastodon user, on the other hand, sees the contents of all second-level contacts and everything that is re-shared by first-level contacts.
For this reason, unless an instance is chock full of trolls and shitposters, I don’t recommend blocking or muting an entire instance.
