Hey there,

I’m a refugee from Squabbles/Squablr.co.

I didn’t care for the recent changes to the TOS nor the “free speech site” dog whistle announcement.

I really liked the lack of downvoting there, so someone suggested Beehaw.

I’ve been slow to give Lemmy a try. I read that the founder developer and current owner of Lemmy.ML is a “tankie” - a European communist extremist.

Is it possible with my Beehaw account to filter lemmy.ml out and is it something I want to do?

I’m not familiar with subject driven fediverse social media yet.

Happy weekend to all

      if you have uBlock Origin set up you can adapt my filters: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1633853

      Something along the lines of this should work for you:

      beehaw.org##.person-listing[title$="@lemmygrad.ml"]:upward(:is(.post-listing, .comment))
beehaw.org##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title$="@lemmygrad.ml"])
beehaw.org##.person-listing[title$="@hexbear.net"]:upward(:is(.post-listing, .comment))
beehaw.org##.post-listing:has(.community-link[title$="@hexbear.net"])

      edit: beehaw seems to have defederated both already, so you don’t need to do anything to block those two instances.

        About a year or two ago I learned how to make custom Ublock filters for an old web board I use. No easy task, so I really appreciate this. Thank you!

        Can I use either of those with my BeeHaw account?

        I joined BeeHaw because I don’t like downvoting and content ranking.

        Thanks for the URLs.

          Yes! They should work with any Lemmy instance (including beehaw)

          It sounds like you joined the right server, beehaw is generally considered the friendliest and best moderated server on here

            The reception I am getting here is the nicest I’ve gotten since I left Reddit to try other platforms. It is quickly changing my impression of Lemmy.

            Thank you!

          You’re welcome! The explosion of great alternative frontends is one of my favorite things
