Since posting, I’ve actually re-evaluated. With the benefit of hindsight, I think it’ll be lucky if it’s three stars.

I dunno, I think it will end brilliantly.

Absolutely. Capitalism categorizes all people as ‘useful’ and ‘useless’, the former really being ‘exploitably productive’.

Lots of folks with tons to offer the world are shunted off to the side because what they can offer isn’t valued by capital. Either that, or their challenges are perceived as too substantial for the accumulationists to bother to see what accommodations could be made.

Thank god I just skimmed.

I’m a principal backend engineer routinely writing Ruby for my day job, so I’m familiar, lol. But you can’t do it for local variables and that just sucks. Definitely a +1 for Elixir.

I have a rum and coke maybe once every six months. Even a single shot of alcohol makes me uncomfortably hot so I’d rather just have straight coke instead. I really only break out the rum when it’s been an awful, awful day and I want to take the edge off.

It’s not immediately apparent in the interface like it might have been in other communities using third-party software. (It would be really nice to access the feature using the kebab menu on the home page listing page, e.g. this: .)

… buried under your username menu, and then by clicking the ‘Blocked’ tab.

I hope that’s helpful to someone else like me who wanted this feature too and didn’t realize it existed!

EDIT: It’s also actually a lot easier to find if you click into the community; there’s a big ol’ ‘Block community’ button:
