Its unfortunate for me to say, but something about Lemmy has changed since the last few weeks of August. I used to really enjoy my time here before then, but now its just getting absolutely flooded with politics and other stuff I just don’t care about and don’t want to see. Having a long block list is not an uncommon thing these days. I feel like block lists should have some sort method, and perhaps a search method too. I have sometimes accidentally clicked “Block Community” when I really just meant to click “Block User.”
Another feature is that blocking a user is possible directly from a post but not from a comment. So in addition to your post, I would also add that blocking users directly from comments should also be a feature. As it is currently, I have to visit a users profile to block them, and moving away from a page always carries a risk that Lemmy will go down when Connect refreshes.
Right, and for me, it is. It is also a frequent thing, and can be misclicked. I’ve blocked over 50 sports communities related to teams I don’t care about, just today. Does that mean I want to block the users posting there? No.
Conversely, if there’s an account spamming a community I like, I want to block the user, not the community. Misclicks happen.
