Upvoting, but I do not admin my own instance, so can only block the instance as a personal user, which means e.g. that they can still mass-downvote me if they so choose. :-(

Also I can still view their comments everywhere, I just don't receive a notification from them anymore if someone replies directly to me, and I could replace my individual per-community blocks with the one instance one for them all. It is nowhere close to "eliminating" them altogether, even though it does cut down on the aggravation a lot.

But I know what you mean, and yes I would like that! Do you know of any instances that blocks those big 3 Axis powers? I looked last week among all the most popular ones listed at that fediverse explorer site but could not find a single one that does. Even Kbin.social only blocks 2 of the 3 but not lemmy.ml...

Oh, lol. I thought you were talking in generalities on how to block tankies. I wasn't being specific to you.

I find that blocking the instance does a good enough job for me.

Plus their alts on other instances, b/c knowing that they have been blocked, some users seem to have decided to evade our intentions. "No means no" is a weakness, according to those for whom consent means little (or nothing), so terribly sadly, that many of us would rather choose the bear than that...:-( (/s but you know what I mean:-P)
