Separation of Powers: a primer for our "friends" from hexbear. ( www.law.cornell.edu )

The term “Separation of Powers” was coined by the 18th century philosopher Montesquieu. Separation of powers is a model that divides the government into separate branches, each of which has separate and independent powers. By having multiple branches of government, this system helps to ensure that no one branch is more...

I understand what you do and what you mean with this post but it will be futile. Hexbear and lemmygrad are toxic instances where you cannot have a proper conversation with its users.

I call it the 4chan style of discussing things. Make you answer a plethora of questions without them needing to answer your questions. The point is to pit you constantly on the back-foot. They count on your morals and decency to keep answering and defending your opinions where they will absolutely have no desire to do the same thing. The end goal is for you to become frustrated and give up. For you to become disheartened.

I urge all instance owners to defederate from these shitholes, nothing of value will be lost.

Rejoice and despair no longer!
This PR in lemmy will implement the possibility to block an instance as user : PR

If the admin of an instance A defederates instance B, all users on instance A will no longer see instance B.
However, other instances (like for example instance C) will still see the comments/users from instance B.

The user being able to block instance B will no longer see anything from that instance B but all other users on instance A will keep seeing all from instance B. It is a personal instance block after all

This is how I understood the user instance blocking and it kinda aligns on how I think the fediverse works. But I could be wrong.

Then I think I fail to see what you mean and want.

The PR is meant to be able to block an instance as a user but you seem to think that it is about finding an instance and blocking that? I see no real purpose in such a feature tbh.
This is not how I understood the new feature but again, I could be wrong.

I will await the new feature and hope and pray it is what I think it is.
