I need Rule

Hot take: none. Let information flow free. Take it with the good and the bad. Don't lock yourself in an echo chamber.

Fuckin' hilarious how quick tankies become obsessed with avoiding echo chambers when on their own communities they have a ban policy of "anything to the right of unironically calling Stalin Daddy."

To actually answer the question, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear will remove most of the redfash content, but you'll still need to be vigilant for individual users to block. Also, blocking users doesn't prevent them from posting on your shit, just stops you from being notified or being able to see it, AFAIK Boost doesn't have defederation for individual users so you'd need to do that over browser.

This comment brought to you by the absolute right to curate who is in your social orbit, same as in real life ya platform obsessed whingers.

Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml will filter out most of it. Ani.social will flood your feed with furry porn, so unless that's your thing, I'd do them as well.

I don't block instances. I block communities and users. An instance is too large a group of people. They're not a monolith. Some people on hexbear are garbage and some are not. Some topics encourage jerks, some do not.

Lemmygrad.ml

If you have to ask which ones, it's obviously not enough of an issue for you to notice.

Say NO to echochambers.

Lemmygrad and hexbear

Isreal Palestine threads are also great for finding users to block. Reeeaaallly petty and vain way to use a decades long humanitarian tragedy, but I personally dont want to listen to the opinions of anyone who'd celebrate violence and horror of that level

All of them :)

You should block FauxBait@lemmynsfw.com among other child fetish communities.

I tend to avoid blocking communities and people on social media as I don't want to create myself an echo chamber. On other social media, such as x/twitter, I only block folk who are directly abusive to myself.

How cringe can they be if you have to ask for an instance instead of just noticing it yourself?

I love the liberal copes I see everyday on lemmy, spineless folks hiding behind their keyboard to badmouth and downvote ideals superior to any systems ever implemented anywhere in the world.

You really deserve Trump or whatever stroke of Facism coming your way.

Holy duck! Lemmy has become r/conservative.

I'm a leftie and can't stand tankies, but lemmy is becoming a really intolerant place. On reddit we were all united against u/spez no matter our other disagreements. Here, after only a few months we're talking about blocking instances and communities instead of just joining and viewing the ones that Interest us...

Perhaps it's time to let this experiment run its course.

Wow, the comments are really turning into a dumpster fire.

My hot take is not to block instances because you can't report what you can't see

Via browser, add '/instances' to the URL of your instance. It will tell you what you can reach and what is already blocked

Honestly, on .world I never see any except for users on the actual posts, so block whatever they're blocking.

Yesterday I blocked politics, worldnews, and similar. Feed was becoming nasty, depressing, everyone arguing, complaining, criticizing, trolls, strawmen. Literally people saying it all sucks, nothing matters, everybody's a liar, there is no point, why bother...

Since blocking, way better experience on lemmy.

tankie sound pretty cute tbh

All of them :)

Yippee

I would suggest some, but I'm pretty controversial and no one likes that

How to block instances (and not communities)?

I think they will block cappie instances in return 🤣

Lemmy.world, Hexbear...

Also possible on Connect

What’s a tankie?

You can do that on Lemmy? I thought it was a thing only Kbin had until now
