In all seriousnessness i have banned almost 5 accounts now that messaged me this exact same post. Is there a way to block this shit?

  • That’s a per-app feature, and not all apps support it. Instance blocks are not persisted in the server side - if you delete your app, re-install it, and log in again, your instance blocks will be lost.

    (I’m not so sure about the server persistence; there may be some that preserve that metadata, but instance blocking - as a feature - is not part of Lemmy. It’s done by the apps).
