Yeah it's not nothing that you can filter the posts from those communities, but it sure would be nice if you could filter the users as well. Which I can do on PieFed, and the Sync and Connect apps (but not the base web UI or apps like Voyager) allow true instance blocking for Lemmy, or Lemmy.cafe, quokk.au, and dubvee.org have all defederated from lemmy.ml (along with hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml).

Even better could be to keep the users but put a label warning that the instance is known for being a bit troll-y ๐ŸงŒ and crazy - and surely if they wanted they could put labels onto our accounts in return like "warning this user is from the West so is deluded by all the capitalist pig nonsense ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿฝ, remember that they don't know the True ML communiist thoughts that only us true believers do".

And even then I wonder how many of those people actually trolling from ML are simply hexbear alts - several have outright admitted that, citing how their ML account predated their HB one, yet acknowledging all the same the choice to use the ML one after the HB one was defederated with, to continue the same activities that they did before that, translation: no means yes to them. Either way the admins allow it and so really who cares so long as their freedom to speak does not forcibly overwrite my willingness to not have to listen.
