Do you guys ever even hear yourselves? It’s almost impossible to mock you because it would be indistinguishable from the actual nonsense you come up with.

Stick to the echo chamber.

Sanest hexbear user

Lol you give a good example of what can be avoided by blocking tankie instances. Thanks for the meltdown.

I seem to notice a lot of discussions about Hexbear. Since my instance preemptively defederated from you, I have some questions. What is the objective/goal of Hexbear? Currently, I kinda feel old 4chan trolling vibes.

Lol my instance has never been defederated from hexbear, which is, I'm guessing, why you signed up for lemm.ee also. I was mainly referring to hexbear activity outside of their own instance - even in instances that hexbear is still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments than before they were defederated by world and SJW. Instead, I see new users from instances still federated with hexbear (eg lemmy.ml) talking like hexbear users.

More than anything, the thing that annoys me most about hexbear is the double standards. They claim to be open for discussion, but the majority of users are not, they behave childishly. The moderators are often far worse. Many posts openly encourage brigading, rather than just discussing an image of someone's comment they want to criticise, they keep the username in and sometimes even include direct links.

Lemm.ee is a lovely place run by a top admin who really knows his stuff (he introduces new features early but also only when they work, and he was key in helping with some of the major issues that affected other intances, even though his instance was immune to begin with). I'm a little wary of hexbear infiltration but accept it, because that's what having an open and widely federated instance is all about.
