Another reddit.world community got mad at me for saying "death to US" and now I'm banned. That's fine! But why can't I block them now? I am forced to see their posts every time I go to /all and can't comment or vote, so am effectively forced to view content without any ability to interact.
I don't want to see their posts and should be able to block them from my /all feed
Here look! When I'm not banned there's a clear option to block the community:
But after being banned I now can't block the community, I'm forced to keep seeing it in my feed!
SOLVED: From the user settings page there is a tab for Blocks next to the tab for Settings, and you can manually search for the community you wish to block in a search bar. That worked, even if the UI on the community page was messed up by the block message.
Presumably it's just the UI that is hidden, there may not be an invalid permission check on the API. You could block/unblock another community while looking at your browser's network log, and then use that as a template to manually construct a request to block the desired community.
I have no idea what any of that means lol
JFC, just degauss the variadic field compensator until the flux is quantized within a few attohenrys of the inverted 2's-complement of the upstream carrier signal (ie the hash of the community's GUID after salting with your home server's UIN), end it with a proper terminator block, and you're done!! I swear, nobody has basic computer literacy anymore.
