Connect includes a setting called “Blocked Instances includes comments”, which will filter all comments from all users from any of your blocked instances.
I don’t think Sync has this option… and I don’t know whether it filters them or not.
If I had to guess it’s a mix of people taking “I’m too lazy” at face value, people grossly underestimating how much work it takes to run and moderate your own instance, and people simply downvoting me for my original comment disliking the amount of tankies on lemmy
It’s really not. Run it in Docker on your home PC. You don’t need to moderate any users because you don’t need to have any users on your instance. It quite literally is “just set it up once,” defederate instances you don’t like, and occasionally upgrade the software like you do any other app.
That being said, a few Lemmy apps now support blocking entire instances, so that IS more simple than it was even a few weeks ago.
I’m a socialist but the level of communism here gives me a headache. Wish I could block the whole hexbear instance
Some apps for Lemmy support blocking whole instances. Both Connect and Sync does.
Blocking hexbear has made my Lemmy experience much more pleasant
Does that block the user comments too?

I’ll have to give them a shot. I found jerboa first and really like it so far, but that might be the thing that makes me flip
afaik some clients offer this client-side, like Connect for Lemmy(Android)

Start up your own private instance and defederate hexbear.
I would if I could but unfortunately I’m way too lazy for that
Lol not sure why you’re downvoted, it’s a legit concern. Running a lemmy instance is a lot more work than “just set it up once”
