It’s because I blocked lemmynsfw after it was reported for the 746272635th time.

You blocked it because people constantly (I assume troll-) reported it? That doesn't seem like a good practice, especially when we have all the Tankie instances (lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, hexbear, etc.) federated. Are there other blocked instances?

I was mistaken - lemmynsfw isn't bblocked. There are only 3 blocked: lemmy.one, lemmy.today, lemmy.froztbyte.dev. Are you proposing that lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear get the block?

Just curious, what was the reason for blocking those first three instances?

lemmy.froztbyte.dev is/was sending malformed messages that caused this the queue runners to crap out. The others were for persistent harassment of one of our trans members.

I personally wouldn't mind blocking those three specific ones but others obviously might disagree. I tried giving lemmy.ml the benefit of a doubt for a while but especially the worldnews community just seems disinformation & insults from the same accounts while the mods don't care or even actively work the same agenda.

I think what would be great is if we could block entire instances ourselves. Right now I am manually blocking all communities that pop up from those three instances, which is tedious. There is an URL for instances (Example: https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml), which even features the block button, but it simply does not work in blocking the actual content or even users of said instance. It would be cool if that was an actual feature and a link to the community's or user's instance available within the sidebar.
