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.
I agree but I think you’ve got confused with your analogy - meta owns Facebook and Instagram.
Sorry I just forgot
No worries, it’s hard it keep up! I was going to use Pinterest in an example but couldn’t remember if they were owned by someone else 🤷🏼♀️
