Want an alt account here. Can i port my block lists?
-
Hi all,
I've got some more personal questions to ask, so, to avoid doxing, want another, second account. This account is pretty easy to piece together who i am. I can't have that with my planned community questions.
However, it's taken years to create my block lists.
Can they be exported and imported into another account?

Depends on the version of the instance you are exporting it.
Lemmy UI:
In your settings and click "Export" on the Import / Export Settings section
Then it downloads a json containing your Blocks.
It "should" be importable but i never heard any feedback about it. It can of course not block people that are in not federated instances. -

If you're making it just to ask a few "personal questions" how many people on your blocklist would even see and comment on them?
And if your worried about it being tied back to your regular one, it seems like asking those questions all from a single alt would make it pretty easy to tie the two together...
It seems to me like just making a throwaway for each question makes a lot more sense. I also don't understand why it has to be on a separate instance.

Yep the ui uses the api

FYI: If an admin looked at your blocklist (which AFIAK is stored on the instance), they could see that your old account also had the same blocklist and deduce that you are most likely the same person.
