I’ve tried using multiple apps, and about to try via web. It always throws an error and says I can’t block them.

Is there some reason why it couldn’t be done? It works for literally every other instance.

Edit: looks like my instance already blocks it. So maybe this was a stupid question.

    If you have learned something new, it wasn’t a stupid question

    A friend used to say: “No such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers”

    It’s not a stupid question but rather bad exception handling. The error message you get when trying this should tell you why it is not working.

    The only instance I’ve blocked is the MAGA one. Despite the asshole mods I have had pleasant interactions with users on annoying instances. I think I’d be missing out if I blocked them.
