Is Lemmy Connect the first and currently only way for individual users to block instances? I know you can block instances if you host an instance yourself, but not everyone wants to do so.
We should be promoting this feature if indeed we are the only one with it as it has been in popular demand, especially lately, with Threads now being a thing.
I think this could cause a lot of confusion.
Most users on a instance just picked it for some random reason. They don’t all suddenly agree with everybody else on the instance.
So if you start blocking entire instances, you now can’t have any contact with anyone there. It’s like refusing to talk to all Germans if you are an Italian.
It’s not hard to see how this can lead to a very confusing fediverse.
