How can I block all Lemmygrad content? As a user can I block an instance? Are there instances that already block them? (self.lemmyworld)

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.

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's people with differing opinions and there's people who believe people they don't like should be exterminated. And there's trolling assholes. Differing opinions can be discussed, the other two disrupt communities.

I would love a federated and unfedrated filter.

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.
