Howdy, so while I’m able to block all posts from hexbear.net accounts, it seems there’s no way for me to block all their comments on instances they’re federated with. I’d rather not leave some of the communities that are still federated with them, but I would like to be able to block or hide all of their comments in the threads.
Is there any way to do this yet? Or do I just need to move to an instance that’s defederated from them?
If the goal is to block out all progressives, won’t you also have to block individual users who are not of that instance, but are still active within?
Who said progressives? I said hexbear.net, huge difference
Block also lemmy.ml this is almost the same type of instance.
Hexbear is the opposite of progressive. It’s absolutely chock full of hatred of tons of groups. And they just make up shit instead of caring about facts.
I have blocked plenty of high profile progressive instances, hexbear, blahaj, and more.
I didn’t do it because they were progressive, I did it because I can’t stand the behavior of hexbear communities. I also got my feed completely taken over by posts from blahaj instances. I am fine with the trans community, if you figure out that you are trans, fine, I will do my best to respect you and your identity, but I don’t want my feed taken over by posts about a single topic.
Then there are instances that specifically cater to a single language I don’t speak, I block them right away.
Finally, NSFW communities like lemmynsfw.com, I use my phone at work quite a bit, and I don’t even want to risk opening a NSFW picture at work, so I filter the entrie instances dedicated to NSFW content.
He’ll have to block himself too eventually🤣
Yeah I don’t get this behavior unless they are a bot or bad faith actor, aont whole point of online discussion is the discussion?
Either way fediverse has like what 50k MAU?
There is but so much blocking one can do before you are alone in the room with a dick in your hand
