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.

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.
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.
You can set your feed to only show subscribed communities in your account settings.
Weird, it doesn’t work for me for some reason, I have to manually go into the “subscribed” tab each time. Also my point about not being able to subscribe to entire instances still stands. For instance(heh) bookwormstory.social is an instance dedicated to discussing a specific book series and currently has like 5 communities, and I’d have no way of knowing when they started a new community unless I manually checked.
I guess you could just create another account in that instance, though I agree it’s not really optimal…
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 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 itI 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.
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.
