This came out of nowhere for me. The initial question was what's the value of the suggested tool. I answered that because I thought it might be useful for the community. I answered your follow up questions because you are sincere. But your response is more heated this time and I'm not interested in notching up the heat especially in a technical area I know nothing about. But I'll do my best to provide a tempered response to your concerns.

I'm not mocking them or asking them to do more. I enjoy Lemmy and I hope the people calling for this change chose to call them in first. This isn't first time I've seen this request and it deserves a well thought out response. I'm not so tuned into this request to know if they've been silent, but that's what the meme is implying.

If I were to modify my previous comment, I'd note that communication by the devs with the community is first and foremost. They should take care of themselvesand not burn out, but silence on an important issue like this isn't acceptable. Nor is berating or badgering the devs. Block functions are important tool for maintaining healthy communities in social media.

My bad. It's not directed at you. I apologize.

I can agree with that. One more tool in the belt isn't bad.

Have a good one.
