I mean yeah, some might use the feature to create an echo chamber for themselves and all the toxicity that can bring is a concern, the alternative is a user experience plagued with content you literally cannot read. I exclusively browse via an app, Google Translate isn’t an option. I have no problem with Germans, if they want to contribute to discussion on English speaking instances- great, I want to see their contributions. I’d just like the ability to cut content that I will never interact with.
The concern that people are going to block instances and complain about the death of Lemmy due to a lack of content feels a bit like a straw man. One could argue that the inability to control content they consume might drive people away and lead to the death of Lemmy. That seems just as plausible but equally unfounded.
I’m sympathetic to your concerns but if someone wants to dodge an instance they don’t want to view for whatever reason they should be able to do that. Blocking posts on an instance from showing up in your ‘all’ feed seems reasonable however, I agree, the members of that instance should be excluded from blanket blocks.
Edit- also, sorry you got downvoted. And I’ll look around for the language options. Thanks.
I’ve got “English” already set so not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I post here only so other people would feel encouraged to post. I’m flattered, but… no, no website. I’m just someone trying to paint their anxiety away.
The perspective of the left woman’s feet is confusing to me
100%
It bugs me too. I made her left leg a bit too long which forced it into this weird perspective. Appreciate the observation. The subtleties of perspective are tricky.
Looking for paper suggestions. I’ve used Fluid 100 and their cellulose version, some other random cellulose brands, just picked up some Arches and Baohong Academy, what’s your budget brand and your splurge pick?
I ordered half a dozen blocks from Jackson, thanks for the recommendation! It’s as good or better than any other cellulose paper and pretty inexpensive. Cold press and Rough finish is nice, have not tried Hot press. Definitely recommend this paper.
Is there a way for me to block an entire instance? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

What kind of paper are you all using?

Some of my tomato’s leaves are turning black like this. Should I be worried? (lemmy.ca)
