China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
Hexbear users incoming in 3.2.1…
I use a client that can block instances, so I have all of Hexbear blocked. It radically improves the Lemmy experience.
Tell me your wisdom, duck of the lake.
I use a Violentmonkey script to do so
Whats the client?
Sync let’s you do it. Also possibly Connect? I forgot the other one, but i think it might be Connect.
Yes, connect lets you block instances, but it still shows that there was a comment there and lets you show it. It’s handy to see how much you’re blocking.
Kbin allows users to do this (noting kbin isn’t a client it’s a compatible platform).
Memmy app let’s you do it as well.

I am using Eternity or Voyager, I will be so happy when instance blocking comes to those.
Give Memmy a try. I switched to it so I could block entire instances. It’s made my feed so much better!
Thanks for the recommendation, but I’m on Android, so I can’t use it. On spezit I loved, and supported Infinity, the Infinity fork Eternity is very good. I love having my own colour theme, it’s great for qol, and all the other nice features it has.
Sync is an outstanding Lemmy client for Android.
Apologies! I should have mentioned it was for iOS.
No worries at all
Connect does instance blocking and I think LiftOff does as well.
I just.tried Liftoff and i did not see that option
Never hear a describing opinion. I’ll take, what is an echo chamber for $200.
There’s differing opinions and then there’s just shittalking. When it comes to differing opinions most of Hexbear interactions deliberately (by the admission of their own users) fall under shittalking. They deliberately antagonize and troll anyone with a different opinion because in their mind anyone who doesn’t agree with them should be trolled. You don’t get differing opinions from Hexbear, you get a bastardization of a differing opinion. One that is different only on the basis them telling you you’re wrong, and in most cases even that has to be intuited.
Nobody should wade through shit to get a few nuggets of gold which is why most people just block Hexbear.
Just because they blocked Hexbear doesn’t mean they block all the opinions they dislike.
Hexbear is just full of radicals and trolls.
Have you ever bothered to read the rules of your instance? If I go on there and say anything negative about your cute dictator I’ll be banned. However, you can freely go on our greedy capitalist instances and praise your teddy bear as much as you want. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I guess your mind can’t comprehend being free.
Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won’t be able to see this post.
But they have posted to .ml which is federated with hexbear. So the poster’s instance needs to be federated no the instance of the community where the post is?
You need both. For a comment you even need the community instance, the poster instance, and the commenter instance to all be federated
That’s confusing.
Basically, everybody needs to agree before access is granted.
It is the best way to block spammers and trolls.
