GPS and navigation was a life changing thing for me as I am, how shall I put it, geographically challenged.

Give me the option of turning left or right and I will constantly choose wrong. I tested this with my family, who thought I was being dramatic and hyperbolic, and they witnessed my failures in all glory. Since then I am no longer allowed to ‘just wing it’ when we are on route…

This is kinda on you, you chose to visit hexbear. Just block that instance. And while you are at it, also block lemygrad.

Remains the question: why the self-flagellation?

PS: I just tried it without Photon and got another error.

Anyway, all good and not something I can influence so I let it go :-)

Ok, sounds plausible. Thanks for the explanation!

Browser. I’m on feddit.nl and use Photon as UI on it (ph.feddit.nl).

Can’t even see these posts, I clicked and got:

400 {“error”:“couldnt_find_post”}

Just give me the tools, as a user, to block instances. Not just the way it is done recently but truly block an instance and all it’s posts and users. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance and all things related to it.

If this is true then I indeed misunderstood v0.19

All I want is to be able to block an instance completely as a user. How hard can this be? I really had my hopes up for v0.19. This needs to be built into Lemmy asap because the idiocy of some instances is getting on my nerves hardcore. I mean, why not go back to reddit if I have to take shit anyway? At least I know the communities are larger over there and if I need to suffer bullshit then by all means, I’ll suffer over there. This is not good for Lemmy tbh…

Redw0rm posted that this is about to come to Lemmy!

Oh wow…. This is so nice to see. Thanks for the heads-up!
