The Block is Watered Down

I feel this on a deep level. Blocking Hexbear has been amazing for my sanity!
sees your instance.
is confused. XD

Then pick an instance that blocks their instance, or start your instance (with or without blackjack and hookers).

I love complicated! I am trying to understand. Let's say I have blocked lemmy.ml:
- a ml won't see a post I submitted to piefed.social, and also I don't see a post they submitted to piefed.social
- ml user posting to lemmy.world can be seen by me and also sees my post to Lemmy.world
- I cannot interact with lemmy.ml (makes sense)
- A post crossposted from lemmy.world to piefed.social by a ml user can be seen by me
Did I get it right? This is of course a purely hypothetical scenario, I would never speak bad about our great tankie leaders from lemmy.ml

While that is a current solution, they should add a third block option for instance users.

Yes, when you post to a PieFed community on your own instance your post won't be sent to any instances that you've blocked.
Although if you post to a Lemmy community we can't control where they forward it to. It's complicated.
It's complicated.
That's my line!

Hey, I wanted to confirm something. Does that mean the blocklist of users are sent to the community's instance?

Extend instance blocking to block all users/content from there Β· Issue #5578 Β· LemmyNet/lemmy
Requirements Is this a feature request? For questions or discussions use https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support or the matrix chat. Did you check to see if this issue already exists? Is this only a feature request? Do not put multiple feature ...
GitHub (github.com)
So it was merged in June? Then it should be working on most instances soon right?

Pretty much. We're still on 0.19.12. Next version should be the very first 1.0 release.

Nope - it is far worse than that, it also does not block messages either, only communities.
And worse than that even is that it used to do so, but the so-called "instance block" has actually gotten weaker over time. Imagine receiving notifications to your inbox for WEEKS and WEEKS upon making what you thought was a fairly innocuous comment in Chapotraphouse... and then going through all that again on Lemmygrad.ml! Purity beatings will continue until morale improves.
If you don't like let's say Lemmy.ml, then you are free to either block each and every single user on it individually (which one guy, ptz, actually did that!
), or you are free to leave Lemmy itself (which I did myself, and am now enjoying the fantastic experience on PieFed! 
οΈ), or if you can find one you may join an instance that defederates from them (note that no major instances are willing to do so). Welcome to Reddit 2.0! Remember not to say anything bad about Russia, China, or North Korea or you'll be instance-wide banned from communities that you've never even heard of before! 
The "instance block" really is horribly misnamed - it should have been called a "community muting" imho. Oh well, what do I know, and here I thought that Lemmy.ml was a community for FOSS enthusiasts, hur-dur I wonder where I could have gotten that silly idea from!? π€ͺ
