I have taken the executive decision to turn federation off for a similar reason.
I was recommended a vile post on the sidebar from m/random which I definitely never want to see the likes of again. I did report it but since it was from another server I don't really know where that goes.
I'm not going to turn federation back on again until I find a way to prevent it. Perhaps we should start a blacklist?
You can blacklist sites you don't want to see.
Go to https://kbin.social/d/<the instance domain name you want to block>
For example: https://kbin.social/d/sh.itjust.works
On the right side-bar, in the Domain box, you'll see this you'll see this
Click on the block symbol and you will not see content from that domain again.
(hopefully)
Thank you and I appreciate the write up but I had actually already blacklisted a few domains.
Unfortunately that did not prevent the post from appearing in m/random because it was from a domain that I had not already blacklisted.
I simply do not want to have to act reactively once I have already been exposed to the vile content. At that point my experience is already ruined whether I block it afterwards or not.
Another reasonable approach might be to block m/random which I might consider doing if I am tempted to enable federation again, but for now I'm just going to play it safe and stick to kbin.social.
Question from a new user, to block it do i actually have to click into it or is there another way? I've read all the comments and don't need clarification on anything else (except maybe if Ernest decided to defederate already); I definitely want to block it.
Thanks in advance!
