    Honestly part of the reason I love being on blahaj is hardly having to block anyone because Ada is super on top of blocking entire instances as well as individuals who would look to make blahaj no longer a safe space. The amount of blocking I have had to do is incredibly minimal.

    Thanks as always, Ada.

      Yeah, Ada’s critics conveniently miss the whole “trans people are almost universally ostracized and critics will seep into any cracks” part. All of em want to complain about overzealous modding, but that’s what maintaining the safe space requires. Because if you get lax about moderation or let things slide, it can very quickly turn into a Nazi Bar situation.

    Not sure you should block fast on Lemmy and its derivatives. Fedi in general, really. It’s a mute at best.

    Honestly, for such a well intentioned meme I’m surprised by the general icky feel I get from it. I think these general advisory things based on a world that is still super into social media and terminally online may feel outdated now. You may just want the being kind part somewhere not on the Internet.

        No, it’s more the other way around. You can’t block. Blocked posts/people still exist attached to your post, they can keep seeing your posts and replying to them, I’m pretty sure. All blocking does here is keep you from seeing what the blocked person is doing, but it doesn’t affect them in any way.

        I guess it’s an expedient way to make them think you’re super passive aggressive. So… like a mute button.

            I am not advocating muting over blocking. I am saying blocking here sucks, so “block fast” isn’t particularly useful. I’m confused about what part is confusing.

              Ah, I see, initially it read to me like you were saying that you shouldn’t block people at all on the fediverse, not that blocking tools for it suck. I’ve had people be weird as hell about ever blocking anyone for any reason when I’ve posted stuff like this in the past.
