okay Google, how about this. I already pay for premium, but Im too lazy to disable my adblocker for just your site, can we just call it a draw and move on?

I don’t want to be a jerk, but maybe don’t look at content from PAWb.social if you’re going to be a dick to its members simply for existing in their space. If it’s truly an issue, KBin allows you to block the group (but I don’t think it easily allows blocking the whole instance).
The Fediverse is awesome since it allows us all to seamlessly communicate with each other, but keep in mind we are all individual groupings of communities and looking at where the content comes from needs to become second nature. If too many people from KBin are jerks to these folks, they’ll just disconnect from us and call it a day since all the good conversations in the world don’t really matter if they’re being treated like dirt.
With that said, even if they were talking in a KBin instance though … seriously, it would have cost you nothing to ignore and move on (or block and move on if it really rustled your jimmies). Hell, even downvote and move on! This isn’t a matter of someone being a shit-stain on humanity, it was just them using the word ‘paws’ to refer to a few appendages, what’s the big deal? They’re not asking you to do the same.
Kbin does have that feature, though I don’t think that Lemmy presently does.

Go to https://kbin.social/d/pawb.social
On the right-hand sidebar, or on a phone browser, at the bottom of the page, you’ll find a button labeled with a circle with a slash across it. Click that.
I don’t really think that this is the long-term solution, though, if people are going to be setting up new instances all the time. That requires work that grows with something like the square of the size of the network. It’s the functional equivalent of trying to maintain a Usenet killfile, a solution which didn’t scale. I think that what’s needed is a way to obtain some kind of feed of recommended and blacklisted content and then for people to subscribe to those easily and for it to be easy to contribute to those. You can choose the feed(s) you want to trust to help guide you to the content you want.
That makes sense! I didn’t realize we could navigate to /d/ to reference the domain.
Thanks!
