I feel this on a deep level. Blocking Hexbear has been amazing for my sanity!

Piefed doesn't size emojis correctly yet, so they're oversized here.

Nope - it is far worse than that, it also does not block messages either, only communities.
And worse than that even is that it used to do so, but the so-called "instance block" has actually gotten weaker over time. Imagine receiving notifications to your inbox for WEEKS and WEEKS upon making what you thought was a fairly innocuous comment in Chapotraphouse... and then going through all that again on Lemmygrad.ml! Purity beatings will continue until morale improves.
If you don't like let's say Lemmy.ml, then you are free to either block each and every single user on it individually (which one guy, ptz, actually did that! 🤣), or you are free to leave Lemmy itself (which I did myself, and am now enjoying the fantastic experience on PieFed! ❣️), or if you can find one you may join an instance that defederates from them (note that no major instances are willing to do so). Welcome to Reddit 2.0! Remember not to say anything bad about Russia, China, or North Korea or you'll be instance-wide banned from communities that you've never even heard of before! :-P
The "instance block" really is horribly misnamed - it should have been called a "community muting" imho. Oh well, what do I know, and here I thought that Lemmy.ml was a community for FOSS enthusiasts, hur-dur I wonder where I could have gotten that silly idea from!? 🤪

What did you write that got you weeks of comments?
-
And don't you dare say ML has a reputation for banning people, because ML will ban you for that.

Then pick an instance that blocks their instance, or start your instance (with or without blackjack and hookers).
-
While that is a current solution, they should add a third block option for instance users.

What happened do vegantheoryclub?
As usual, reminder that Piefed allows actual instance blocking
Does that mean Piefed also blocks comments and posts of blocked instance users to other instances?
Yes, when you post to a PieFed community on your own instance your post won't be sent to any instances that you've blocked.
Although if you post to a Lemmy community we can't control where they forward it to. It's complicated.
