But I like all, there's often new stuff there I would miss otherwise. Also an excellent source of new things to subscribe to. Also blocking every community on like 3 instances would take way more effort than I want to put in. Like why not add functionality that let's users block instances they want, why require defederation for such a simple feature.
I just block them whenever they pop up on my feed. It is annoying but they have have ~20 active communities on Lemmygrad and Hexbear each, at some point you'll run out of places to block and they're gone.
Problem is, people from Hexbear/Lemmygrad don't stay in their corners. They brigade and flood into other communities and instances to spread their disinformation and vitriol, and shut out any real discussion. That's been their explicit intended goal, to deny everyone else a forum. You can block their communities, but it's the users themselves that are a serious problem. I've been blocking every Hexbear user I see and there's still more that keep cropping up.
Where do they do this? Do you have links? So far what I've seen is they comment on posts that go viral on their instances, as they're allowed to do. I can't say I've had any problems with Hexbear users.
Typically, it's on any post that mentions China, Russia or Ukraine, especially on lemmy.ml. The defederation post on lemmy.ca (Link here) provides several examples of very poor behaviour by Hexbear users, and I can personally attest that it is worse than that, having seen it.
Yea but what if lemm.ee decides to block piracy as well? Back to square one then. Honestly I'm thinking if self hosting at this point, at least then I get to decide on the bullshittery.
If you use one of the tools to migrate your account, the blocked communities are saved and come along to your new home instance.
Could you post the tools to do that?

Oh my god thank you, been trying to find something that does exactly this for a while. Subscribed to hundreds of communities and blocked even more and I was seriously considering adding and blocking everything manually to another account on another instance. Thank god I was lazy with that.
So far my experience with lemm.ee has been pretty good. No forced defederations that I'm aware of, generally free to browse whatever when in /r/all.
And it's up pretty much all the time which helps.
