Hey there,

I'm a refugee from Squabbles/Squablr.co.

I didn't care for the recent changes to the TOS nor the "free speech site" dog whistle announcement.

I really liked the lack of downvoting there, so someone suggested Beehaw.

I've been slow to give Lemmy a try. I read that the founder developer and current owner of Lemmy.ML is a "tankie" - a European communist extremist.

Is it possible with my Beehaw account to filter lemmy.ml out and is it something I want to do?

I'm not familiar with subject driven fediverse social media yet.

Happy weekend to all

It's not natively supported in Lemmy yet but lots of third party apps can. If you're on Android Sync and Connect both support it.

You're not wrong about the tankie thing, I'd say it's the major conflict in the "threadiverse" right now.

As you can see, I'm on lemmy.ml on this account. The moderation of the server is definitely weird. Since it is the flagship server there's more diversity of thought than you would expect.

If you want to avoid the tankie trolling and brigading the instances you want to block are lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net

I'm using a desktop web browser.

How would I block those instances?

if you have uBlock Origin set up you can adapt my filters: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1633853

Something along the lines of this should work for you:

beehaw.org##.person-listing[title$="@lemmygrad.ml"]:upward(:is(.post-listing, .comment))
beehaw.org##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title$="@lemmygrad.ml"])
beehaw.org##.person-listing[title$="@hexbear.net"]:upward(:is(.post-listing, .comment))
beehaw.org##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title$="@hexbear.net"])

edit: beehaw seems to have defederated both already, so you don't need to do anything to block those two instances.

About a year or two ago I learned how to make custom Ublock filters for an old web board I use. No easy task, so I really appreciate this. Thank you!
