I know they’ve always been on Lemmy, but it seems like the past few weeks it’s slowly increasing, making me want to just stay on beehaw /local. Showing up on more communities, even on instances that ban that type of trolling explicitly.
Anyone else notice this?
Note: When I’m saying Tankie here, I’m not referring to far leftists, socialists, anti-capitalists, etc. I’m talking about trolls that act leftist but their actual intent is to cause infighting and support authoritarian regimes. Sealioning, all that stuff.
You can block by instance yourself (hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are the main offenders)
But this only seems to stop their threads appearing, not the users themselves. I don’t know if this is a bug in Lemmy or intentional.
How do I do that in Beehaw please, or do you just mean blocking them on mastodon itself? Thanks!
Not sure you can, Beehaw doesn’t appear to be upgraded to Lemmy 0.19 or higher.
When they do, it’s in your settings page with the other block lists.
Ah right. OK - many thanks 😊
For what it’s worth Beehaw already has hexbear and lemmygrad completely defederated
That’ll be why I don’t see them! Excellent. Many thanks.
