This is cool, but also what domain would I naively wish to test this on first? Blocking out stuff seems rather odd by principle of how the fediverse operates i guess
Like if you wanted to block all articles linking to The New York Times, now you can. Or I think you could have since long ago but now that’s also possible through the API, in case apps like Voyager want to connect to it.
This seems to ignore a basic use case of Lemmy. Scrolling through all or local posts. Something I imagine most users of Lemmy do. Blocking is useful and would be even if this use case didn’t exist, which it does.
Wouldn’t you also block comments from those users? Even if you’re not interested it those specific posts, you probably still want that interaction in mutual communities

Why?
Because it’s pull-based rather than push-based, so if you don’t want to see something, don’t sub it.

It allows you to curate your all-feed as well.
For me, probably ani.social as the pics don’t really mean anything to me.
