I blocked yiffit.net pretty early on, so I guess that? I’m not interested in the content they post, so it was easier to block the entire instance rather than each random furry porn community that would pop up onto c/all. No shame or anything against them though, just not my thing.
The funny thing is, if you wanted to block the furry porn, Pawb.Social is the more active instance with porn related communities. Yes, Yiffit.net was intended for it, but it never really took off. I am literally its most active user.
I was probably was able to set up more effective filters as things coalesced onto that instance then I guess after reviewing my filter list. I’ve got community blocks as well. I’d prefer to block communities, not instances. No reason to miss out on interacting with folks just cause they’re into different things than I am necessarily.
You actually don’t block users when you block instances. It’s just all the communities on the instance at once. In some cases, I really wish it did block everything.

Well the instance is getting archived soon, so there won’t be anything from there for much longer.
Good to know. Is pawb.social the instance to block now then to achieve the same goal?

Be sure you export your profile settings before the archival

Hmm. I think that on kbin/mbin, that is how instance blocks work.
EDIT: This post seems seems to support that.
I don’t really dislike the furry instances, I just don’t want to see their content. They don’t actively annoy me the way others do.
