That's entirely different. As an individual, I have the choice to send emails to, or block emails from, Gmail.com.
But on Lemmy, if I am on an instance that federates with Threads, and I don't want Threads.net to get a copy of my content or posts (or have my content or posts show up on Threads.net in the future), then tough shit for me, my only option is to either go silent or move to an instance that has defederated from Threads.
People keep making the email argument, but it is not the same thing at all. I don't think it's fair for a large percentage of lemmy.world's users to not have a voice in a decision that will absolutely impact them, nor is it fair to have a stance of "then leave then."
If a user blocks a domain I suppose their content isn't send to that server anymore I hope?
It is. The user just won't see any content from the server they blocked.
They won't see any communities from the server they block. Users are not blocked in domain blocking.
How do you know? We should fix this on the software level.
Nope Lemmy's blocking system is cosmetic only. It's very much useless against defending from real malicious users. I assume the purpose it was built for was under the assumption that it was going to be used exclusively by easily offended snowflakes, which is backed up by the way that most users treat a person's claims regarding a malicious user or malicious instance.
