    As someone who has mostly lurked this site since jan 2021…I’m pretty bummed with the federation. I would come here to get a reprieve from dogshit takes like this.

    Fucking libs, bro.

      I kind of agree tbh.

      On one hand it’s kind of funny, but seeing this sort of political (il)literacy regularly is also somewhat depressing

      If I wanted this caliber of baby-brained analysis I’d just go to r/politics or worldnews

      I made a userscript (like a browser extension but less work) to show only content from other instances (“dunk mode”), but it can just as easily be inverted! If you want to give it a try, just install something like TamperMonkey in your browser and then copy/paste and save this script:

      // ==UserScript==
      // @name         Lib Blocker
      // @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
      // @version      0.1
      // @description  Block federated users on hexbear.net
      // @author       YearOfTheCommieDesktop
      // @match        https://hexbear.net/*
      // @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=tampermonkey.net
      // @require      https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/CoeJoder/waitForKeyElements.js@v1.2/waitForKeyElements.js
      // @grant        none
      // ==/UserScript==
      
      function processComment(comment) {
          var link = comment.querySelectorAll('a[title="link"]');
          if (link.length >= 2 && (!link[1].href.includes("hexbear.net") && !link[1].href.includes("lemmygrad.ml"))) {
              comment.querySelector('button[aria-label="Collapse"]').click();
          }
          return true;
      }
      
      waitForKeyElements('.comment-node', processComment);
      

      This will auto collapse all comments not from hexbear.net or lemmygrad. I could make it hide posts too, but browsing by Local I never see lib posts anyhow, so I didn’t bother.
