  • I blocked the instance with Sync, yet I can still see their users comments on other threads. Is there any way to completely block it all? Other than moving instances I guess.

    • The only ways I know of:

      1. move to a PieFed instance - which is amazing and worth doing anyway, just check it out and you'll see why:-)
      2. the Lemmy apps Sync and Connect, which you are asking about so it should work for you? I haven't tried Sync directly through so I'm not sure exactly how to make it happen, only that people said that it should work
      3. after the above, it gets a LOT more difficult from here, like writing a custom Ublock Origin filter rule or some such
      4. start up your own whole entire instance and defederate from all three, then suffer whatever problems have caused all of the top major instances to not do that for Lemmy.ml

      Lemmy does not make it easy, and worse: the "instance filter" doesn't do anything close to what it sounds like, it only functions as a "community muting". Maybe Sync can do multiple things along these lines - look for a way to "block all users from an instance", maybe start with a user from it and click around for an option with that language.

      Good luck - it's definitely possible (I've done it myself - PieFed makes it trivially easy, though there aren't as many app options for it, just Interstellar in alpha stage, though Thunder support is being tested right now, but currently very limited to a normal user, i.e. it's a custom fork of the code not yet merged back into main).

  • I dislike Harris but nobody gains anything of value arguing over who they think will be worse. It’s the most pointless argument made up just so entitled folks living in a hyper-individualized society can feel like they’re correct.

    I can tell you one thing though: Harris didn’t have a Project 2025 teed up and ready to go. But also who fucking cares? We’re now all stuck in this boat so let’s quit the leftist infighting and pissing contest. They all benefit from the same thing and they’re all the enemy of the working class. That’s the only knowledge we need.

    Edit: seems people misunderstand my tone. The point is stop arguing over candidates in a country that has been in tailspin for years. Talk ideas, not people. We knew we were gonna get stuck with a Project 2025 eventually. That means Hexbear folks should stop coming out of the woodwork when someone mentions Harris, and people still favoring Harris are doing no one any favors. She lost and she wasn’t going to save anyone. And I shouldn’t even have to state how massive a piece of shit Trump is. Let’s move on from this childish bullshit already. They’re both trash (although maybe I should clarify whom I think sucks more so that I don’t get attacked by leftists that don’t understand how revolutionary discipline works).

    • But also who fucking cares?

      I think you'll find most of us fucking care. Because many of us have our fucking rights at fucking risk because some idiots decided Harris didn't pass their fucking purity test so now we're stuck with the fucking orange fuhrer.

      There are people in my community I've had to talk down from committing suicide just yesterday due to the state our country is in because of policies that wouldn't be in place if Harris had won.

      You're an idiot if you think Harris would have been worse for Palestine than Trump. The only knowledge I need is that my democracy won't be put at risk by fucking leftist tankies who don't have two braincells to rub together to differentiate between comparative outcomes.

      You think your "bOtH SiDeS bAd" takes are so enlightened but you're the problem bub.

      • I think you misunderstand where my “who cares” comment comes from. I care about the actual outcome (which is currently terrible as everyone predicted). I just think it’s a pointless thing to fight about. I don’t care about “both sides bad” crap. I care about what we’re going to do now that a fascist is here, and planning ahead for the worst.

        The whole thing leading up to the election where people argued over who was worse was tiresome and divisive of people that should be aligned. Conservatives still voting for Trump are a lost cause but leftists have common ground and shouldn’t be wasting their time arguing over something that ultimately leads nowhere. They should be preparing for the worst case scenario as a unified front.

    • She lost and she wasn't going to save anyone.

      the people going to concentration camps disagree.

      also, I think you have a point, but your tone is really harsh
