Meh, I just blocked all the porn. Don’t want that coming up while scrolling at work!

Why do you hate fun?

Admins can see everything. That's how a database works.

It's the blockbox of the instance.

I don’t! My workplace hates fun.

Can they see blocks of individual users? Can we get a top 10 most blocked, unbanned users?

Well shit's on them. I don't block instances. I mentally scorn them.

They can see everything in the database. So yes.

Would it be unethical to publish some novel stats that wouldn't be available to users?

In my opinion, probably yes. If that information being made public is likely to make people feel uncomfortable, then its probably unethical.

I don’t block instances.

I tend to block instances that block me, because I find it annoying to see an instance on the front page that I'm expected to look at but not allowed to interact with.

Fair enough. In that case, the fact that you block them should come as no surprise to them.

Unlike me! No instance shall know whom I place my scorn on! No instance! Never! Muaha ha ha ha ha!!! Will they block me on account of these posts? Well now I have information on some fragile administrators! Haa ha ha haha haaa!

I just disabled all NSFW stuff

Petition to get Lemmy and PieFed devs to e2e encrypt all user settings.

I mean, it's free and probably faster to just make an extra account that you don't use at work if that's your only issue

That actually does a pretty great job of getting rid of the explicit stuff. (Thanks for tagging your stuff, porn magazines!)

It does nothing for the just as NSFW anime magazines.

Unless they were contacted and gave their consent. That's a lot of unpaid work tho.

You're getting blocked from entire instances?

Yes, they own the literal servers you're on. Obviously they can see everything. Just like the admins of any other website in the world.

If it wasn't the whole instance, it was one mod on a bunch of subs adding me to communities I'd never visited.
