Yes, so I want to browse all but actually control the content, block instances, block keywords, etc… currently using Jerboa, but not married to it.
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.
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
I honestly think that we should have major instances federated to everyone and instead of complete defederation, provide users with options to block (basically hide) content from certain instances and users from your feed. It would also be crucial to have a separate tab then for all (unfiltered) content. The thing is, one of the main problems with traditional socials is that it is so easy to create a bubble around you and not see anything outside of it. While it’s OK to have personalized feed, it’s also important to be able to see everything the way it is - even with marxists, stalinists, fascists and so on. Maybe having some arguments with them here and there would be good too.
The other viable option is to just leave everything as it is, and retreat to viewing only subscribed content when you feel like it
I agree. Having your opinions challenged is a good way to develop yourself into a kind and well mannered person.
And if you are incapable of dealing with pressures, it should be easy to allow yourself to wall yourself in with the communities you vibe with using features available to block specific instances and people at the account-level and not the instance-level.
There is a federation on/off button on kbin. It’s the little triangle symbol in the upper right next to the settings gear symbol.
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?
Sopuli and Beehaw come to my mind about instances that block Lemmygrad.
