On version 0.19 you can block instances so that you don’t see any posts from that instance, instead of having to block communities one by one, you still see comments from users of that instance in other posts so it isn’t completely blocking the instance.

    Heavily considering blocking sh.itjust.works to be honest. That instance now has admins that care but for a very long time they didn’t. Led to a lot of bad actors making accounts on that instance because they knew they could get away with more. Most trolls I’ve seen lately are from that instance and its getting a little exhausting.

      Past two days I’ve seen pure CP posted without NSFW tags on or anything from that place. I’m also considering blocking it.

      Really? I haven’t seen that and I’m on a lot. Maybe it’s on communities I don’t frequent? Which are you taking about?

        It’s not a specific community. I’ve been here since August and have nearly 1.5k posts across a wide variety of communities and wide variety of instances. In that time I’ve seen more and more bad faith comments from people with the SJW instance tag. It’s not universal but it is noticable. Due to my frequent posting, I also have gotten to know admins from multiple instances and all of them have expressed the same frustration. To its credit, SJW did get new admins within the past month or so that are working hard to fix shit and don’t take it lightly.

        Just an example of what can happen when mods and admins let things slide for a while.

      The troll thing was going on a few weeks ago but I haven’t seen any activity like that recently. I sometimes use that instance directly as well as a kbin and a couple others. I browse New generally and haven’t seen any illicit content either.
