Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

    You may not know this, but there is an option to block instances in the settings

      Not the users though. I have .ml blocked, which means communities hosted there (therefore moderated by them) don’t show up. However I still have to read their tankie comments.

      And for some, that’s absolutely the best solution!

      To me, the fediverse is already pretty small so I don’t like blocking and making it smaller. So, personally, my compromise is to see everything but consider the source before responding etc.

      (And judicious use of piefed’s user note system; good ol’ vomitty face for the unpleasant non .ml folks and a big ol’ smile for the sane seeming .ml peoples!)
