Is there a way to completely block users from an instance? Comments and posts? (Technical question) (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy, so while I'm able to block all posts from hexbear.net accounts, it seems there's no way for me to block all their comments on instances they're federated with. I'd rather not leave some of the communities that are still federated with them, but I would like to be able to block or hide all of their comments in the threads.

Is there any way to do this yet? Or do I just need to move to an instance that's defederated from them?

Sweet fuck it makes you scroll past your individual block list that's why I couldn't find it

Baffling design decision, saviour

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

I completely agree. I feel like I have to traverse the entire menu system, which is also broken into different areas, to find some feature I'm sure must be there, I just haven't found it yet.

You can allways block through the desktop site and it'll work.
