Wait, .19 will allow us to block whole instances?
Kinda. It’s detailed here, but essentially it blocks the instance communities and posts from showing up in your feeds, but users from that instance remain visible.
It’s like a quasi defederation at the user level.
That's pretty good tbh.
Agreed!
It’s especially useful for people like myself who are banned from an entire instance but still technically able to post comments because their instance keeps the comments cached on the local instance.
So I'll still have to see their obnoxious emoji, eh...
Yeah, I was hoping user level instance blocking would also block users from the instance. Hopefully the functionality will be added in later.
