It doesn’t work, on Lemmy block is nothing more than a mute, and the instance “block” (mute) does not even affect the individual users of an instance, just hides the comms of that instance from your view
Lemmy’s “block” still leaves you open to all manner of brigading that they’ve been known to do
And it still allows conspiracy theories, propaganda and misinformation to spread and fester and affect users who are unaware
They literally have articles over there spreading the Russian propaganda that Putin is justified in invading Ukraine because it’s “full of Nazis”
Besides this is the Threadiverse, there will always be an instance with wide federation if you as an individual choose to open yourself up to that kind of “content”

You should make a fork with a block that works!
If I was proficient enough in Rust, I would have, or someone else would have long ago if it wasn’t written in Rust
Rust isn’t exactly a very popular language in open source right now due to its difficulty
Brigading is a feature of Lemmy.
