Very noticeable that they didn't specify how he wasn't a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.

I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.

Sync let's you do it. Also possibly Connect? I forgot the other one, but i think it might be Connect.

Yes, connect lets you block instances, but it still shows that there was a comment there and lets you show it. It's handy to see how much you're blocking.
