The best way is to make an account on a server that doesn't federate with them. Sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world, and most other large servers are defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad.ml.

Apparently lemmy.cafe is defederated from those as well as lemmy.ml. Be aware that a good chunk of major communities are hosted in lemmy.ml, so you won't be able to access those if you're defederated.

Unfortunately even if you block them, you will still see posts and comments that users from that server make on external communities. It's only by being fully defederated that you won't be able to see any of their content at all.

Sh.itjust.works is not defederated from hexbear lol. I can speak from experience that they still show up everywhere.

Yeah I guess that's true, they are defederated from us but technically we aren't defederated from them. But they still can't see anything that SJW users post or participate in our communities. And same for lemmy.world, etc.

So you only really see them when they comment on lemmy.ml communities for the most part. There are a lot of lemmy.ml sublemmies to be fair.

Thank you. I'm currently on lemme and it's a good instance. I guess I should hop over to lemmy.world if they already defederated them.

Lemm.ee is a really good server but if hexbear and lemmygrad annoy you, then it's not the right fit for you.

Ya, it's sad but true
