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.

My wife and I bought her last car at CarMax and it was absolutely haggle and pressure free. We had spent hours prior at a Honda dealership and the pressure for so heavy, it had my wife in tears. We will always use either CarMax or private party in the future.

I block communities that routinely show up that I am not interested in seeing and use a monkey script to block instances of no value to me.

No, simply because I don't "have to" have content. If Lemmy lacks interesting content, I go outside for a while.

Well, I use a fake name and an email used only for Duolingo, so..... ok.

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.

Solution. Reverse the CAPTCHA reaction. If it's solved, it's a bot, if not, it's a frustrated human.

That is exactly it, right down to having to fight the urge to repeat the thing that makes me feel sick! I would have never through that this would be something more than just my totally broken brain.

I clean mine very rarely because sticking my finger in there causes a sense of shock and tingling that longers after. The sensation makes me physically ill.

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!
