There are a couple of instances that are clearly misaligned with my values, but they’re very active, so a lot of the communities keep popping up in my feed. I’ve been blocking the communities, but it would be pretty cool if I could just block the entire instance. I know an instance can defederate from another instance. Is there a way for an individual user to do something similar, short of spinning up an entire instance myself?

If you hate lemmygrad then I have bad news for you buddy. The guy who wrote the lemmy software is the same guy who runs lemmygrad. All of lemmy is “tankie bullshit”. I suggest you go back to reddit to be safe from us.

TIL that open source software is inextricably tied to it’s creators political beliefs…

Sorry bud, but despite tankies on this site being really fucking loud and argumentative, you’re drastically outnumbered by newer members who have no relation to lemmygrad or other tanky instances.

No fediverse social media site “belongs” to it’s creator or their beliefs, that’s literally the whole point. If you want a site where it’s creators are able to enforce their beliefs on their users, maybe you should go back to traditional social media

Unless their politics is embedded in the software (it isn’t) I’m perfectly able to separate the utility of said software from the views of the creators.

I mean, there is a hard coded word filter which doesn’t allow you to use the scientifically correct term for a female dog. Which is pretty wild.

This actually hasn’t been true for several patches now. The slur filter is no longer hard-coded, but instead is customizable on an instance-to-instance basis. This change sure doesn’t stop people from complaining about the (nonexistent) “hard-coded slur filter” though!
