Instance blocking is based on author, not community (lemmy.world)
 

Blocking an instance is determined by the submitting author, not the community the article is submitted to. So if I see a post in the fake community [email protected] and want to block white power.ml, but the post was submitted by [email protected], I will block normalemmy.me instead of whitepower.ml.

Is that expected behavior? Because it was not to me.

Regex filters can break Connect (lemmy.world)

The following regex, if inserted into the Filters section, causes Connect to fail to load any content from any instance and report "INSTANCE is not responding"

/(\[|\()[Mm](\]|\)))/

It is missing one left paren, and instead of a useful error message, it breaks Connect in a surprising way

I am thinking specifically of broadcast tv kids shows that I have no problem with my kids watching, but that are broadcast with kid targeted ads in my country. I much prefer to rip them and let the kids watch them without commercials.

Any content that exists solely to put ads in front of my kids is 100% fair game and not just ethically allowed, but creates an ethical necessity to remove it from it's advertising.

If MMOs count, EVE Online at well over 12,000 hours over the last 20 years.

If not, nethack has probably consumed close to 1000 hours of my life.
