Criteria: I’m looking for instances that are defed’ with the Big 3 tankies (lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear). I have no interest in trying to persuade my friends to create an acc and set up instance blocks before diving in, or dealing with the feedback when they run into the tankie brigade.
Edit: lemmy.cafe and infosec.pub seem to fit. I also find it really interesting just how many of the replies totally ignored my stated criteria.
There’s another option to “block” an instance: if you make them ban you, they won’t be able to see your posts or interact with you anymore.
I can just imagine an entire community dedicated to people posting - from each new Alt account that they make (particularly Blaze:-) - messages such as “please ban me from your instance”.
If half the Lemmings did this, it would have 20k posts in that community:-).
heh, sadly it doesn’t prevent you seeing their opinions in comments. But still, it ensures that they won’t ever appear in your own OPs.
