Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

kbin lets you do this, I'm told - I've only blocked communities and a few individuals so far, though, so can't speak to how well it works.
Blocking domains isn't meant to be, nor functions like, an instance block. More of a "I hate seeing links from whatever.com appearing in my feed, so im blocking that domain so any threads linking to it won't appear". Doing the same thing on an instance's domain will block some things, but far from all.
kbin will have an actual instance block 'soon', however.
Edit: Also what Arotrios said - it's also buggy right now and having a domain blocked is breaking shit for some people.
Right, that's what I was afraid of.
You can block domains on kbin, but it's somewhat bugged right now. It appears that blocking domains can cause posting errors if you're creating threads or pictures, including making comments invisible on threads when you're logged in.
To access kbin's domain view, go to kbin.social/d/[your domain here] . You'll have an option to subscribe to or block the instance. Example:
https://kbin.social/d/beehaw.org
