The “Readers added context” feature is the only good thing about Twitter.

    Why not just advocate for both services having a block feature.

    We’re users, not Lemmy creators. This would be like criticizing Instagram users for using a Facebook service when it’s Facebook and Zuckerberg who are the problems.

      Because there’s no real way to implement blocking on a decentralized platform without severely increasing overhead per post, plus it’d be super easy for any instance to ignore it. I meant what i said when I claimed to understand why it’s not on the fediverse. It’s a logistical nightmare that would greatly increase the server requirements to host and defeat the intent.

        But I still don’t see why this makes users the hypocrites.

        I also know why it’s not on the fediverse but that doesn’t mean I support the lack of blocking.
