I wish I could mute an entire domain. I can mute and block single users and prefer muting, but I can only block an entire domain which isn't ideal in those dark grey cases where the instance has a mostly crappy community and muting it would be a quality of life upgrade, but it's not so bad I want to block it.
look I am a professional at coming up with bad and nonsensical solutions to non-problems (HAVE YOU SEEN MY KEYBOARDS?) and even I must bow at the feet of the kind of shit JS coders apparently do every day
webdev rant
If I were to choose which one of HTML, CSS and JS I hate the most, it would without a doubt be HTML. This actual piece of garbage is barely a functionality superset of Markdown and is good at describing neither simple "hypertext" pages it was designed for nor 2D maps of content that modern websites are; not even mentioning full-blown web applications. It's the reason we need CSS and JS frameworks in the first place.
If you want to blame something for web bloat, blame HTML for being so shit it requires that bloat.
so every time russian trolls hit an ukrainian open-registration mastodon instance, the fediblock gets lit.
first come the outraged that demand the instance gets immediately defederated or else, because they host nazis.
second come those with good advice. “i encourage you to do x, y and z, all of which will limit the accessibility if the service to your fellow people, but will make everything so much more convenient to us
third come those who offer to help: moderate the instances in the hours when the shelling and bombardments make it impossible for the admins to log in, or screen the join requests.
lol, the last para was just a joke. no-one on the fediblock cares, and after all, no-one speaks ukrainian or whatever is the language there.
fediblock: keeping the fediverse clean for those who speak majority languages.
Quick reminder that when a society bases its politics on magical thinking, this is the kind of shit that happens #pol
