Is there a way to block hexbear

I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

I love the idea of ditching Reddit, a site owned by a for-profit corporation and run by unaccountable admins, for a decentralized alternative where people have more choice and power over their own content...
...but why do people have to make it so political?
- You should ask your fellow hexbear comrades why they turn everything to politics and Chinese/Russian propaganda 🤷 Heck the main community on your side of the verse is basically Shit Reddit Says with an alt-left political twist!
  
  "What about the alt-left?"
  
  Not my fault you're the equivalent of the alt-right but on the left side and you give actual socialists a bad rep 🤷
  
  What do we have in common with the alt-right, besides liking guns?
  Everywhere that communism and fascism have come into contact, they have instantly been in violent opposition to each other.
  I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say "actual socialists". What is your model of socialism? What are some "actual socialists" and how do they differ from the people Hexbear celebrates?
  
  What do we have in common with the alt-right
  Your pathological lying and your obnoxious childish behaviour. In fact a more relevant question would be what you have in common with the left at all, because I can't see a single thing.
  
  Feel free to dig through my post history. Where have I lied? Where have I not been interacting in good faith?
  I've been an activist for almost a decade; I organize IRL with 4 different anarchist groups of various stripes and 1 demsoc group. I don't know what bar you're trying to set for "leftist" but I'm pretty sure I meet it.
  
  Lying about what, for example?
  
  Let me guess when you say the left you mean socdems
  
  You accuse us of childish behavior as you fling unfounded accusations of lying at us without any kind of follow up or justification.
  
  Words mean nothing to liberals whenever it's convenient. Sometimes words go from having meaning to none in the same sentence.
  
  actual socialists
  Lol. Lmao, even.
  
  the equivalent of the alt-right but on the left side
  "Why can't we kill half the trans!"
  a nuanced centrist.
  
  Socialism is when the government does things.
  
  Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=KyC9WMl3Lck
  Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
  
  "alt left" you are a clown. Remove the worms from your brain
  
  I mean, stop acting like the left side version of the alt-right and I'll stop calling you that... Even just the second part of your reply there, that's exactly the kind of shit that the MAGA/anti-Vax crowd says to fight people they disagree with, word for word!
  
  Calling things you don't like Chinese/Russian propaganda is exactly what neoliberals say, word for word, and has the benefit of actually having a substantial political connection instead of just being a popular metaphor.
- I moved here because they took away Apollo and I really liked Apollo. It wasn’t a political decision
  
  They prevented a service through which the users would use it, and the users had no say in it, and ended up having less functionality? Maybe it's a problem when users can't have self-determination. I'm glad there's something that could be done about that.
  It's just a question of how we relate to and use online resources, and who has the power over online communities. That's not political at all... or is it?
  
  Everything is political. Nobody wants to talk to you about socialism.
  
  "Reddit turned to shit because of capitalism" was a widely-spread opinion here already before hexbear federated
