Gnome and some KDE applications used to offer tear-off menus that could be positioned anywhere, similar to NeXTSTEP and its derivatives. Seemed like a neat idea that still deserves some consideration.
While I don't like neutering an artist's vision in the name of conformity or commercial pressure, it's generally a wise business practice to avoid deliberately offending your potential audience. I suppose a healthy gaming franchise needs new users to thrive, and maybe toning down the excess will broaden the game's appeal.
For example, this comment links to another community on another instance, but when clicked on, you're not actually able to interact with anything on that community, because you're suddenly not logged in....
Intuitively, that's how I assumed it already worked, and it's probably what most new users will also expect. But a single global identity also runs counter to the idea of decentralization, and could invite other further complications.
The current experience can still be pretty jarring.
Can anyone tell me how I can block an entire instance on kbin? I don't speak German so I want to remove feddit.de from my feed. I found how to block a single magazine/community but not how to block an entire instance.
Next to each thread's post, you should see an instance specified in parentheses, such as (lemmygrad.ml). Click that item to list other threads from that host, as well as a sidebar box that says Domain. Click the "no smoking" type of button to suppress everything that domain produces. I think.
Verify it worked by going to your user's settings menu, click the blocked tab, then the Domains link.
