I got banned frrom there just for saying that I don't support the russian invasion. Russia isn't even remotely socialist and Putin never hid his fascist beliefs. Dude can't go 5 seconds without citing Ivan Ilyn and Carl Schmidt. I'm a leftist, but this dudes are totally lost in their 'war' against the west.

Interesting that everyone here wants to operate their feed on a blacklist basis. Personally I'd love the opposite, to be able to subscribe to instances or specific communities and only get content from those. The main reason I used Reddit over anything else is because it only showed you posts from subs you subscribed to.

There used to be one, but it was shut down and in general the Lemmy community has (had?) a good immune system against letting these people get a foot-hold.
Well, I had to see a ukrainians-are-nazis meme on my timeline and that's not something I can just ignore. If I can't find a way to get rid of that type of vomit I can't continue using this platform. Remaining neutral always favors the oppressor.
Why are you browsing All then?
I agree with your post and want the ability to block instances for the same reason, but I just try to block all political communities and then use Subscribed and Local.
All is unfiltered by definition.
that was probably commies rather than the alt right
they also have a tendency to call folks race traitors and deny genocides
something something horseshoe
cry
maybe you should go join beehaw lol
He wants to remove sources that produce bullshit, not be part of a body that removes anything that hurts the sensibility.
"remaining neutral always favors the oppressor" sounds like they want to remove anything that hurts the sensibility.
Sounds like youβre with the oppressors.
I'm on the side of allowing discussion so that people can understand each other and not get stuck in polarizing echochambers.
"First they came for the genocide apologists..."
I'm always wary of those who wish to censor others. To me, defederating from lemmygrad is the same as defederating from lemmy.world. you're closing yourself off from other points of view and discussions with others.
Though I much prefer the fediverse view of "block/remove it from your own feed but they can still post as they please" than traditional social media's "ban them off the entire platform for disagreeing".

I heard exploding-heads was the right wing one? I haven't actually checked it though.
Not the main one, that used to be wolfballs but it dissapeared from the net a short while ago. maybe it will come back, but it is still widely blocked.
exploding-heads is more of a right leaning shitposting site.

If it is really that much of a problem, just block the 3 biggest communities of Lemmygrad and it will be quite improbable and infrequent for you to see posts from that instance. Although, isn't easier and faster just to ignore them?
Another reason to block an instance is language. For example, https://feddit.de is a non-English language instance, I'll never interact with anything from there.
Though, perhaps that's a separate issue. Maybe users should be able to set their language(s) and content can be blocked if it's not in your language(s).
Probably best to do it hierarchically, where instances have a default language, magazines can override the default instance language, and posts can overwrite the default magazine language.
Mastodon has a language filter feature. Iβd love that here on Kbin.

kbin (kbin.social is currently working) allows individuals to block by domain. That would keep any top level memes off your /all but I think you still see comments.
How do you block a domain on kbin? I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm not sure that's actually a thing. Maybe he means individual magazines / communities, which have a little block button next to the subscribe button in the sidebar.
Apparently it is a thing - I found out how in another thread: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/23632/How-to-block-an-instance-on-a-personal-level
"For example, you want to block lemmygrad.ml - go to kbin.social/d/lemmygrad.ml (d for "domain") and from there you can block the whole instance (click on the π«)."
Also, if you click on the small domain name next to a post it will take you to that /d domain page, where you can block
Ahh! No (android) mobile app is yet able to access kbin, right?
Do you know where kbin shows the list of defederated instances? I can't find anything like that, there's just the modlog.
as far as I can tell, it federates with everything
this is my understanding as well
Sopuli and Beehaw come to my mind about instances that block Lemmygrad.
Many of the largest instances block lemmygrad. You can check by clicking the "instances link at the bottom of the page.
lemmy.world seemingly doesn't... if I understand this correctly, if my registration is on an instance that blocks lemmygrad, I would not see it even when brosing ALL?
that should be how it works, you can check which instances are blocked on https://beehaw.org/instances for beehaw for example
Correct.
We really need this.
Also for beehaw after the de-federation so they don't pollute the feed with posts with 90% of comments missing.
100% agree.
All of the political extremist and hate speech instances should be defederated. And Beehaw just because them defederating us creates a really bad user experience if we don't defederate them as you could respond to comments/posts by beehaw users on other instances and not realise they won't even see your replies.
But we would see our replies and could continue to discuss. Sure it would be a loss, but not completely so.
This is my mindset, and tbh I'm fine with it.
I don't know that mutual defederation is necessary, I think a clear warning that that user and users from that instance won't be able to see it would be enough. A red border on the comment with a hover tooltip explaining it seems like would work to me.
