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

It's not natively supported in Lemmy yet but lots of third party apps can. If you're on Android Sync and Connect both support it.

You're not wrong about the tankie thing, I'd say it's the major conflict in the "threadiverse" right now.

As you can see, I'm on lemmy.ml on this account. The moderation of the server is definitely weird. Since it is the flagship server there's more diversity of thought than you would expect.

If you want to avoid the tankie trolling and brigading the instances you want to block are lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.net

I'm using a desktop web browser.

How would I block those instances?

So both of

https://alexandrite.app/

https://vger.app

are alternative web front ends to lemmy. The former is more desktop oriented. I don't think Voyager supports it yet but they update at a breakneck pace.

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!
