Can we defederate from hexbear.net?
Removed by modI’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
You can filter out instances with Ublock Origin for desktop and Sync for mobile. This will remove any posts and comments from users from that instance. It's a lot easier than trying to get your instance admin to defederate a major instance or setting up your own while still getting rid of hexbear for you
Sync can't filter out comments though.
Thanks for mentioning Sync can do this. I have been wondering about this since I first joined for the various nsfw instances (didn't want to blanket block NSFW posts)
If I may ask, how do you do so with uBlock? Haven't found any info on filtering instances as a user
