I’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.

If I may ask, how do you do so with uBlock? Haven't found any info on filtering instances as a user

Thanks! For anyone that wants something that will block posts and comments do the following in uBlock Settings -> My Filters:

your.instance##.post-listing:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@blockedinstance\.domain/))
your.instance##.comment:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@blockedinstance\.domain/))

In this case from blahaj to hexbear:

lemmy.blahaj.zone##.post-listing:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@hexbear\.net/))
lemmy.blahaj.zone##.comment:has(*:matches-attr(href=/.*@hexbear\.net/))

Edit to add this will also make sure it doesn't remove posts that just have the instance in the title, just posts from the instance.
