You never mentioned instance blocking. Yeah, it’s not a Lemmy thing and because of that it’s a little wonky. Various front ends handle it differently.
It might be worth editing it into your comment for clarity. When you say “block tankies” it isn’t immediately clear you mean blocking an instance because “tankies” can exist anywhere and “non-tankies” can exist on “tankie instances”.
(I’m not trying to be a pedantic jerk, either. Sorry if it sounds like that. If it does sound like that then it’s just the stress from the US election getting to me. 💜)
Also, I’d like to specifically mention that I’m sorry you got harassed. That sucks. 💜
It’s like email sort of. I’m on programming.dev. When I post this comment it will be sent to programming.dev. Asynchronously (but still fairly soon) lemmy.world will scrape it from programming.dev (this is called “federation”). When you log into lemmy.world your inbox will show you this message notification.
You never directly interact with any server other than your home instance.
I’m unhappy.
