I just wish I had a way to block your entire instance and all your users and this wouldn't be a problem. I agree with the accusations and want nothing to do with you and your weird porn shit.
I know it may seem like empty platitudes, but I want to make it clear for anyone reading this that our entire team agrees with more native ways in lemmy to block our instance as well as ways for instances to limit our content from federating into the all page. The fact that there is a lack of distinction between NSFW and pornographic content is extremely problematic as well, and ideally long term lemmy will receive content warnings like other activitypub platforms.
Porn isn't for everyone, but people are going to seek it out regardless. A space such as lemmyNSFW needs to exist to allow the people who seek such content out to be able to do so in a safe and controlled environment that focuses consent as a key principle. And in line with having the key princple being consent, making sure people who do not want to see content from our instance are able to block such content with ease is a no brainer.
Our team has also taken a step back and looked to what critiques there are in regard to our instance, as well as preemptively engaging with other instance admins as well. The conversations being had are important, and we are actively figuring out how to best navigate them.
Also, heres a reply I made 20 days ago to the connect apps comm when a proposal was made to block instances. Where I reiterate what I said above. https://lemmy.ca/comment/857085
So, first, just turn off "show NSFW" in your profile settings, but yes, even then I agree there really needs to be a way for users to block instances. Defederating is such a massive thing. Having more granular options would be nice. I don't think it would've changed this particular case but it can change more.
Switch to lemmy.blajah.zone and you'll never see them again.
Okay, now how do we block blahaj.zone content, as a lemmy.world user?
I'm on Jerboa, but there's an option to block instances in the meatball menu of a post. I use it to hide foreign language instances like .nl and .de
On a non-serious note, I've never heard it referenced as a "meatball menu" and I absolutely love it. It makes sense given the similar term "hamburger menu" too!
What/where is the meatball menu please?
The three little dots on the far left of a comment or post.
Damn, I can only can block users, not instances. Thanks though!
Ah, you're right, you have to do it on a post.
Because I don't care to interact with content from an instance run by Ada.
I'm not gay, I just think porn is a net negative, promotes violence and sex trafficking and the people who view it enough to join a porn lemmy instance are losers who spend way too much time masturbating alone. I don't want to associate and talk to these people while thinking about recipes and news, Keep your perverted loser shit to yourself
