Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don’t speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I’m not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.
(Maybe it’s just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn’t do to someone who hasn’t done anything wrong, haha XD)
Just to be clear, I think someone doesn’t have to have done something wrong for you to block them. The block list is an important self-care tool and you don’t need a reason to look out for yourself. <3
Good point! Haha. The first time I saw that option I immediately clicked it but then suddenly I was thinking I wouldn’t just block some random person without a good reason and then my mind went: it’s not the same as REPORTING a community, is it?
I felt exactly the same way when I blocked the NSFW instance! I haven’t blocked anyone, let alone a whole “community”, for many years! Odd thing to think/consider when we just tryna block some pornbots lol.
