Which app do you use that has instance filters? I'm using Liftoff and I didn't find an option for that and I'd really like to filter some shit instances

As suggested, Connect. Excellent filter capabilities. My feed is pretty enjoyable now, at least on my phone. The only thing I'm missing is filtering out comments with specific keywords but that isn't a huge issue. I downvote and occasionally block a user if they just post an emoji or a pun.

I even have a "system":

Instances with annoying users like those on hexbear, blahaj or lemmygrad: complete instance block.
Communities which I have no interest in: block
Spam bots reposting articles, reddit threads or links to some random blog post: instance/user block depending on context and how many posts per hour they spit out.
Too many posts about the same subject that I don't care about: keyword block. Absolute bliss when Elon Musk and Donald Trump is gone.

I only interact with content that I find interesting. Not a huge fan of defederation if it's not pedo paradise or spam bot/troll farm. There are some good tutorials online on how to tie a noose if one of those two are your thing. Everyone has the right to an opinion and I have the right to ignore crazies.

Sounds cool!

Can you turn these on or off at any time? For those times when you wanna read some chaos?

[-] fry@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Just in the comments and if a user match a filter. You can tap and view.

Otherwise you have to go into the settings and edit your filters.

Not easily, no (unless you mean unfiltering a single instance, not temporarily turning off all filtering). The best option for that kind of thing seems to be to use a different app when you don't want to filter stuff.

Connect has instance and community blocks.

[-] necrophagist@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Sync has it but not for comments I believe.

[-] arefx@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I was able to block posts from hexbear on Sync but I still see comments from users in posts from other instances.

Welcome to MoG!

Meanwhile On Grad

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse

What is a Tankie?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(caution of bias)

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.

Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.

If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
