I blocked [community]@lemmy.ml, and I use a script to block lemmy.ml results themselves. So [community]@lemmy.ml should never, ever show up on my feed. Yet here it is due to a crosspost to news@lemmy.world. This is madness.

    crossposts are completely separate posts that happen to have a link to a different one. they’re not properly connected at all.

      So what you’re saying is, I can block a toxic community, but I am still forced to see when they post the same post again somewhere else.

      Ugh. Can I just block literally every post with a certain word in it? Also every comment with that same word?

    I have no problem with this. I block the community, not the content. If there’s something political going on, the opinions of nazis don’t matter to me, but the opinions of everybody else might.
