If you are on instance A and block instance B, users from instance B can still comment on your posts on C.

Thanks for the actual answer, good to know.

A bit sensitive are we? lol

I just want to avoid the mod abuse that was back in the other place. Deleting a post with 70 comments and 500 votes because you think the word, "rice" is racist is peak gobshite.

because you think the word, "rice" is racist

I always love things like this, where someone reveals what they did wrong, but leaves out enough context to make them seem like the victim...haha

I'm not necessarily sure whether I'm in favour of the removal or not without the whole context, so I'm not taking a side. But I can imagine why it might've been removed.

When I post a meme that is self explanatory, I use a random word as the title. If you check my post history you'll see "lemon" for Lisa Simpson.

I made a meme that was "My Steam Deck" "Me" "My 4080 Super" and randomly chose "rice" as the title.

So, there's the context.

I don't have a choice, there's no appeals process. I just blocked lemmly.ml and wanted to ask how it'll affect my future interactions.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Blocking tankies is good practice anyway

~~Yes, block means block. What else would you expect?~~

Apparently that's only true for the admin version, I stand corrected.

If they used the native instance blocking feature to "completely block" the instance that actually only hides posts from that instance.

From https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-12-15_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.0_-_Instance_blocking,_Scaled_sort,_and_Federation_Queue

Users can now block instances. Similar to community blocks, it means that any posts from communities which are hosted on that instance are hidden. However the block doesn’t affect users from the blocked instance, their posts and comments can still be seen normally in other communities.

Huh, guess I mixed it up with the admin version of it.

That seems dubiously useful to me, if a user blocks lemmygrad they probably want none of it, not just hide the posts.
