Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear

  I understand that people see posts from other instances, I don’t understand why people click on posts from other instance’s support pages. Why not scroll past

    1. The name of our instance is literally in this post what do you expect

    2. This instance is called “main” and the sidebar says it is the “Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.” How is anyone supposed to know this is a “support” comm?

      Well that’s normally what the “main” community for any instance would be, announcements and support posts. But I understand if that isn’t really clear

        /c/main was our shitposting comm for a while, until it was closed in a controversial mod decision

        last i checked it was reopened as a joke and any post/comment without the word “main” in it gets removed

        Not to pick sides, but I've literally never heard that before. I've always seen Main used the same as a General channel. That being said, if it's truly important, just create an account on Kbin for awhile until Lemmy has the same blocking capabilities.

      I do scroll past hexbear posts but I would rather just not see them which is why I asked

        That’s all fine and good. There are likely dozens of well mannered users on both sides of the federation fence. It’s just the few arseholes also on both sides making it hell for everyone. I don’t see why we can’t just sub to the coms we like and be done with it. But lemmy keeps showing the weirdest shit and the knee-jerk reaction is to comment on it.

  Right in your screenshot: posted to main@sh.itjust.works

    Yes. We’re federated. What’s your point?

      Well, you can see this conversation is in a community that has nothing to do with your instance and clearly with the question being asked your reaction should be “Oh, I wouldn’t bother them if that’s how they feel.” but you just can’t resist the temptation to stir some more shit and you don’t even realize that you’re just proving OP right.
