Weird downvote people.
I agree with you - just block and move on. This is Lemmy, a land without capitalist social media algorithms filtering our newsfeeds for us. Nobody's monitoring your preferences and automatically curating your main page to ~~manipulate~~ "entertain" you. The block feature is one way we can take control over the information presented to us, and using it to filter for language simply makes sense.
And before anyone chimes in with "jUsT cHaNgE YoUr sEtTiNgS tO eNgLiSh," some of us are multi-lingual in other languages and don't want to be limited to only English content - we just don't speak German, specifically.
