I don't mind the general hexbear ideology in itself. Sure. You do you.
But, damn, I see more than a few of its members just being obnoxious.
It’d be lovely if you could just see the hexbear powerusers somewhere convenient and mass block. I went through a couple subreddits of theirs, found the top posts, blocked everyone with more than 50 upvotes. Real pain in the ass, but I suddenly have far fewer teenagers who peaked in middle school debate club to deal with.
If you go to our megathread, most of the people tagged in the first comment are our most active users.
idk if there's a tool to mass block them, seems like it would be a pain to go through them all but you do you.
This statement isn't even internally consistent, are we teenagers or did we peak in middle school?
You peaked in middle school, you’re now a depressed teenager in high school or therabouts.
Try a little harder when trying to pose as a well intentioned and reasonable human.
Stop LARPing as a Silicon Valley logic machine. It's creepy and cringe.
"hexbear is toxic"
Civility is when I get to deride anyone who disagrees with me as a child and they are forbidden from saying anything mean in return
Imagine typing the paragraph that came before this, and then going on to write and post this without detecting the irony
I make no such posturing, because I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think of me. I’m not dedicating my life’s work to.. making other internet less pleasant for everyone else? Because you can’t possibly be so deluded as to think your actions as a whole are positive?
Anyways, there’s no chance in hell lil smoothbrain me is going to convince any of you enlightened geniuses of our time to pull your heads out of your collective asses. I’m just annoyed you make the meme machine worse.
I won't call debunking imperialist propaganda from the west, and dunking on racist and ableist users, "obnoxious".
Anyways,

Mate. That's not the obnoxious part. Posts like this are the obnoxious part.
But not initiating a thread by going out of your way to insult a swath of people. That's not being obnoxious. It's replying to it with anything but meek deference that's obnoxious. Just let everyone know ahead of time that you're the main character and we need to treat you special, okay? Can't fault us if we don't know, right?
I love Mate, yerba mate.
France.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I don't see you being "obnoxious" about the racist and ableist users in your home instance. So we could say that you have less acceptance of the inclusive and open to discussion (in goof faith) instance users, than the hate lovers users of yours. Of course, I don't want to generalize. I saw a bunch of cool users in here

Hey, Hexbear users? Can y'all send in a better representative to do damage control?
I really want to like y'all, but damn.
Still no opinion on your fellow ableist and racist users?
I challenge you to find one of those in our instance.
spoiler
I had no opinion on hexbear coming into this thread. Now I'd be absolutely fine with hexbear being defederated.
Holy shit are y'all just the most annoying group of self righteous sea lions.
What is it you hate about Hexbear specifically?
Probably shit like this.
Me asking you a question is what you hate?
You cant be serious
spoiler
I love my instance so much. See ya, racist.
Loud and clear, a damage specialist will be with you shortly to inflict more damage
god sure do love that you can clutter the comments with this garbage. i really wonder why people wanna get you losers out of their communities...
dude's trolling. There's no way tankies use that image, that is one of the most cringe things i've ever seen in my life
Have you browsed Hexbear? This ain't trolling. It's very much genuine.
If it is trolling, then it's just an entire instance posting an inside joke and then pointing and laughing at the people not in-the-know who don't "get it."
It's not clever.
Lol what an absolute clusterfuck.
Not liking ablism and racism is an in-joke?
This is why ya'll can get fucked, I'm tired of seeing this garbage in my feed.
Yeah, mate. That's the in-joke I'm referring to. [sarcasm tone indicator, cuz some of y'all need it]
A reasonable person can infer that's not where my issues stem from.
All this tells me is that Hexbear folks get their jollies from trying to provoke people with weird stretches.
"You don't like some of our users?? Wow, you're pro-rascism and ablelist!"
It's not cute.
Yeah! Fuck people who need tone indicators, we shouldn't be inclusive to those people
You present needing tone indicators as a negative. Why is that?
I understand that this is bait and definitely not good-faith, but I'll bite anyway.
Because I know that a lot of Lemmy users are ND, and, being ND myself, I wanted to emphasize the need for my tone to be understood by everyone.
Didn't realize it could even be viewed as a "negative" until you said something.
Hey thank you for your response!
It was indeed bait, because I thought you saw being ND as a negative, from the way you phrases your statement. I am glad to hear it was me that misunderstood you.
I've just seen a few too many use it as a way to demean others.
You know what it's not cute? Discrimination. In this case, your ableism.
We call out the ableism and racism of some users of this instance. That's the real reason of your "obnoxious" feeling, regarding the Hexbear users. Our zero tolerance to hate.
Scrath a liberal, and a fascist/racist bleeds.
"America bad looool I just debunked imperialist propoganda"
Is just about the highest IQ take I've seen out of hexbear. Ya'll got that cult-like disconnection from reality.
Also when there was a user in unixporn yesterday asking what words will replace "ricing" now that it's entered social consciousness that the term has a racially based origin, a hexbear jumped in to say it's now going to be called "crackering".
Wow, dunked on that racism so hard.
It was so racist of that user to better themselves and replace a racial work with a non-racial word. Good thing we have hexbear to help out.
All your problems are the fault of white western libs.
We are so dunked on.
