I definitely get the desire to block instances, but there are also some good commenters from .world (though they are usually the minority) and I would like to see their contributions still. Blocking individual users is a bigger pain, but results in a better experience in the long term IMO.
It makes me appreciate that our admins only defend from truly scum-of-the-earth instances. As much as .world feels like Stormfront at tines, they’re no Exploding Heads.

And these theoretical good .worlders can move if that’s the case; otherwise, I don’t have an issue not seeing them based on the behavior of their peers.

If I’ve understood it correctly, the new feature will only let you block posts from that instance, so you’ll still see their comments
