Rather than rely on an extension, I think I would add the publicly listed up ranges to my hosts file. That will blackhole any connections where a browser extension wouldn't actually stop anything until it was being processed by the extension.

$6,000 worth of hearing aids later, I remain unimpressed.

You know you're screwed up when a kiddie fucker calls you backward.

I remember as a kid, seeing a commercial for a credit card where the clown of the ad tried to use cash, inconveniencing the mob behind him and it really stuck with me how unapologetic credit companies were when training their consumers and debt carriers.

Doing something you know will result in a negative(in our case here, losing a huge level of activity, participation, stability, etc).

Oh no, not 100k. How will they ever scrape up that kind of money?

The term soaring is pretty relative in this case. It's still completely unknown to the majority of the world. It's just like Lemmy, where the very few rigid types that absolutely couldn't stand for one particular thing that happened to their social network will do anything, including cutting their nose off to spite their face rather than continue to use it. That's why we're all here and it's why nobody else but us are coming.

I love the added usability of Alexandrite but unless you can block entire instances in it either natively or via greasescript, it is unusable for me.

Thanks for your time!

 

Hey there neighbors,

I use Connect on my phone for the necessary feature but haven’t found a web solution yet. Basically, I’m in dire need of blocking an entire instance, as it’s made me not want to visit Lemmy when at the computer.

To clarify, I don’t need all the features of Connect, just instance blocking in the web browser or a PC app. I'm not looking for a sorting/filtering change to subscribed, again, it's just a single instance I need to remove from the feed.

Thanks for your time!
