If you are using the web client can you go to: settings -> blocks -> Block community, and block it from there?

I think you’re misreading my reply (or i worded it poorly). I agree with you 100% and do contribute to the instances I use and the content creators I watch.

I meant it as “So what if they ask for help? Do, or don’t (donate)”

The initial post came off to me as a dig at the admin for openly asking for money.

So? Do, or don’t. Either their service provides people with enough value to donate to keep it running, or it doesn’t and goes under.

Altruism doesn’t pay the bills; but it doesn’t hurt to ask. Can’t blame them for that.
