I do not know whether anybody else has already said this, but Lemmy could really use a feature that would allow individual users to block instances. I think it could have spared some of the defederation word wars that have been going on lately, since that would be an individual choice rather than a collective one.
Just a thought.
Thanks. Changing feed does not solve the “brigading”, though, so I can see why many resort to calling for defederation or changing instance.
