I definitely get the desire to block instances, but there are also some good commenters from .world (though they are usually the minority) and I would like to see their contributions still. Blocking individual users is a bigger pain, but results in a better experience in the long term IMO.
It makes me appreciate that our admins only defend from truly scum-of-the-earth instances. As much as .world feels like Stormfront at tines, they're no Exploding Heads.

And these theoretical good .worlders can move if that's the case; otherwise, I don't have an issue not seeing them based on the behavior of their peers.
Today I stumbled on some of the .world and kbin posts and comments you interacted with over the last week. Yeah, I think I get why you're ok blocking them now.
I hated that feature on reddit. It was just a tool for people to be cowards and try to get the last word in leaving no right of reply to their bullshit.
It's an instance block, not a personal block. There isn't a reddit equivalent for it as it's a feature that only makes sense for federated social media.
