I love the idea of ditching Reddit, a site owned by a for-profit corporation and run by unaccountable admins, for a decentralized alternative where people have more choice and power over their own content...
...but why do people have to make it so political?
If you're using the connect app (if not, you should try it!), just tap the three dots any post you see by them, and click "block instance." Easy peasy.
I heavily endorse the block feature. It's not reddit level of activity, after blocking enough you barely notice them. And I only block the most annoying users.
The problem is that there apparently currently is a limit of 1000 blocks per user. With the inevitable spambots and trolls going to appear over the years it is annoying having to spend a lot of those on these guys.
It is a very popular feature request. Not generally being able to block instances. Specifically blocking hexbear.
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
