Ask Hexbear is the place to ask and answer ~~thought-provoking~~ questions.

Rules:

  1. Posts must ask a question.

  2. If the question asked is serious, answer seriously.

  3. Questions where you want to learn more about socialism are allowed, but questions in bad faith are not.

  4. Try !feedback@hexbear.net if you're having questions about regarding moderation, site policy, the site itself, development, volunteering or the mod team.

Is this useful to anyone? Would it win over enough libs to federate with lit.cafe?

The actual text:

This week @nutomic finished implementing the block instance feature for users. It allows users to block entire instances, so that all communities from those instances will be hidden on the frontpage. Posts or comments from users of blocked instances in other communities are unaffected.

I think that would let smaller instances that don’t wanna be overwhelmed by our posts avoid that but still let them see our comments on their posts.

I didn't realize this was how they were implementing it, but it's beautiful.
