New account but I’ve been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I’ve been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since people who wandered into the sub.

I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let’s enjoy it for now.

I hate it here now, ngl. I’ve barely used the site since the federation. Maybe I’ll get used to it or maybe it’s time to move on.

Seconding the “local” recommendation! I was really confused by your comment until I realized I was on local the whole time for some reason lol. It’s almost nobody from other instances, like 1-2 comments per big thread. I’m actually gonna go check out All now for some fun hahah

Yeah mods need to pin a PSA:

if you don’t like federation, set your default filter to “local”, it basically makes it like it never happened

I wish we could make “local only” posts

Completely ignoring that they still come and shit up our threads, but sure, “say it louder for the people in the back”

Can I ask why? They’ve only been in like a handful of threads and those are only the ones on frontpage of /all/ under “active” sort. Like, 3 or 4 bans per day seems like practically nothing? In the last week there have been 17 bans and 6 of those are ban evaders unrelated to federation. 11 bans in 7 days seems really low impact.

I’d be pretty sad to see you disappear I like you.

your default site filter should be Local > Hot (or new)

that way, when you want to see or participate in dunking, you switch to All > Active but you otherwise don’t cop all the pleb outside memes

click your username > settings and review

Click on the “local” button on the top and you filter everything other than us out

I blocked the memes comm on lemmy.ml and that did wonders for my experience; blocking certain comms can make a huge difference if you don’t want to go as far as switching to Local but can’t stand shit like garbage-tier Reddit memes.

Move on to where? The offline world? I’m not super online so I am completely unaware of any leftist forums that are remotely similar to prefederation hexbear. I will say there are limits to the entertainment value of having dumbasses wander into our threads, and sometimes the broken sorting mechanism is a bummer, so I get where you’re coming from. Honestly not sure where one would move on to though.

avoid the threads with lots of posts? if you sort by local+hot you basically won’t see them. yeah, there’s the occasional lib who wanders in but it’s not like we’ve been free for that over the last three years.
