How do you block a domain? I thought it wasn’t possible on Lemmy; searches seem to lead to the same conclusion. Grateful if you can share a link or something. 🙏
Comment on Meta: Can you please not announce every single porn community you create

There’s been a couple different accounts that do it, just block the account the first one time you see it, because they’ll keep doing it till they’re banned then make a new account.
Most likely its just one person who likes putting NSFW places it’s not meant to be, which is why they were/are using porn pics.
I just blocked the entire domain honestly, it’s what you need to do if you really want to prevent it.

That is true. For some reason it dropped out of my mind to block the entire domain, despite being a power user.
Still, I don’t think it needs to be standard procedure to announce every fringe porn community. As stated above, the audience will find it. And it is unnecessary for new people to the Fediverse getting the impression that this is what it is all about.
I suggest a live in peace treaty with porn instances. Do your thing, I really don’t care. Let people subscribe to whatever communities where they are federated. Again, I really do not care. But please block the instances dedicated to porn from posting anywhere else. There is really no benefit to it except the weirdos that not separate their porn addiction from regular social context.

I mean, to be honest if you’re trying to get that message to users of the porn instance, I never quite understood why you’re saying it here where there’s already a problem with spam about and none of them will even fucking see it…
And why you wouldn’t make this post over there where they’d see it.
But we all have different thresholds before we reach for that block button I guess. I’ll keep being proactive about not seeing stuff I don’t want to.

I don’t have an account there and I have no interest in arguing with people that live with porn 24/7 why the rest of us aren’t prudes for wanting to be able to scroll through social media without being bombarded with porn. Again, I don’t mind porn, but it doesn’t have to be everywhere and all the time.
