… still i can see their replies.

important clarification

since replies here are confusing things up : i don’t want to block users … only communities from that instance (…and only because their moderation is biased).

original title

Do you have this ? Since my account is blocking Lemmy.ml, i do not get notified for replies of users from there


… maybe that original title was confusing ?

    fellow .ml user here; I can see your post.

    Would reccomend joining an instance that doesnt federate with ml if it bothers you that much.

      If he blocked you or your instance you’d still see them, but they don’t see you. Blocks only go one way.

      But I have the entire .ML instance blocked and I also still see users from that instance when they post to other instances (as is the case here). It only seems to block the communities on that instance. You’d think it would block everything from the instance, including the users.

        … and I also still see users from that instance …

        Great ! Now, for these users, did you notice that you are not notified when they answer to your post or comments ? (this is really what I was trying to ask in the title of this post … I guess my question was not easy to read, no one until now is answering)

        • I can’t be certain; sometimes I get reply notifications from comments that don’t exist (has no user info or text beyond “no record of this comment”). I don’t know if they simply deleted it or if that’s something I’m seeing because it’s a blocked user or instance.

      Users from that instance are for me like any other users … but their communities have moderation which is biased. So, by blocking their instance, i am only blocking their communities and not their users.

        Do you care to elaborate a bit more on what you don’t like about .ml moderation? I joined Lemmy before the reddit exodus. At the time I joined, .ml was the largest instance.

          You are here (there) since 2 years and maybe you noticed that if we post something in favor of Ukraine or criticizing China and russia on “.ML” then we are in trouble (or create large friction with moderators and administrators) ?

          N.B. : ML stands for Marxist Leninist.

            I mean, I mostly look at memes, so I never noticed that. And .ml stands for Mali, the country. I didn’t know it was a dual meaning acronym.

              .ml was attributed to Mali by internet authority but Lemmy administrators (& developers) at the time choose that one (.ml) because they are Marxist Leninist … and because those domains were not expensive.
              Sure you know about this 2nd most important instance at the time that was lemmygrad(dot)ml … ? (it’s a play on words from Leningrad)

                I’m aware of Lemmygrad, yes. FOSS is the reason why I joined Lemmy, and I was at least mildly aware of the developers’ philosophy. I wasn’t aware they were moderating all dissent.
