I made a userscript (like a browser extension but less work) to show only content from other instances ("dunk mode"), but it can just as easily be inverted! If you want to give it a try, just install something like TamperMonkey in your browser and then copy/paste and save this script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lib Blocker
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Block federated users on hexbear.net
// @author       YearOfTheCommieDesktop
// @match        https://hexbear.net/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=tampermonkey.net
// @require      https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/CoeJoder/[email protected]/waitForKeyElements.js
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

function processComment(comment) {
    var link = comment.querySelectorAll('a[title="link"]');
    if (link.length >= 2 && (!link[1].href.includes("hexbear.net") && !link[1].href.includes("lemmygrad.ml"))) {
        comment.querySelector('button[aria-label="Collapse"]').click();
    }
    return true;
}

waitForKeyElements('.comment-node', processComment);

This will auto collapse all comments not from hexbear.net or lemmygrad. I could make it hide posts too, but browsing by Local I never see lib posts anyhow, so I didn't bother.

as far as I know upstream lemmy doesn't want it and is waiting on pictrs proxying support. If I'm wrong though our code is public, I'm sure a dev would be happy to put together a PR,

Appears to be a language issue. The default should be selecting both "English" and "Undetermined" but it's pretty easy in the UI to accidentally clear it and select only "Undetermined".

My opinion? He's engaging in the time honored capitalist tradition of lying all the time abut anything and everything.

He's a weirdo sure, but is he soooo different and special that he's just transphobic because of his eccentric obsessions? No shot. He's just got the same anxieties about gender as every other transphobe. Not even exceptional in his bigotry

the weirdo angle here is that he thought this made him sound better. But I guess it did, to Grimes

Any government interference with economics is anti-capitalism.

Alright, I see we aren't being serious here.

Hexbear.net stays winning, external embeds are domain whitelist-only until pictrs adds proxying support, and blurred by default.

Good PSA tho, I'd honestly encourage other instances to do the same but it requires dev effort that I know not everyone has, and upstream isn't quite as paranoid about this stuff.

For reference:

Or download TamperMonkey and enable DUNK-O-VISION

mostly transphobes, who we then purged ruthlessly

you can still go look

That's fine. Same reason I haven't, but don't assume you know what it says then.
