What’s the fucking point. The community isn’t even hosted on lemmy.world. I don’t want to have to create a new a account on a new instance every time a dumbass admin decices to block a community I follow. Lemmy is doomed to fail.
On reddit you didnt even have the option to join a new community if it was banned or blocked. This is a better alternative

Right but it would be an even better alternative if you had the choice who to block.

Btw blocking instances at the user level is a feature that will be coming to lemmy soon.

But this doesn’t save the admin’s ass over legal harassment
