I wish there was an additional option to block all users of an instance separate from the instance block that applies to communities.

I have thought about that and wondered: how would child comments under a blocked user be handled? If I was on Instance_A and able to block Instance_B to no longer see comments from those users, what about the other Instance_A users (who have not blocked Instance_B) who reply to Instance_B comments on an Instance_A thread? Would I still see those Instance_A comments, and the Instance_B comments in the comment chain just appear blank or something? Or would the entire comment chain, starting at the Instance_B comment, just not get displayed to you at all?

Look up the article on Wayback machine and you only find minimal updates over the years.

The difference between this and the most recent snapshot from before Aug. 28, 2024 is just that they removed the link to a particular news story. Even checking the oldest snapshot, you can see there has been no significant change to the main content since it was originally posted years back.

I doubt that'd ever become standard for them. Parts of the code for these discontinued products often get cannibalized by other Google products.

What is arguably even more egregious is having X/Y backwards. On a graph, X is the horizontal axis, Y is the vertical axis. Xbox got it right.
