I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down
You must log in or register to comment.
Obviously you can’t lump them all into one category, but the majority of them seem to be willing to cause chaos on other instances for a laugh. Doesn’t sit right with me, so i blocked them
I will not define insanity or who is or isn’t, but hexbear users’ stances and opinions tend to be missing nuance as one often do when one is terminally online and mostly form opinions based on the reverberations of an echo chamber.
They do occasionally have a golden meme, though. But the amount of shit coming from there got too tiresome, and I could only look past so many genocide denials before I ended up blocking the entire instance.
Yes, Everyone. the bots, the human user, me, and even you. You can’t escape it.
Yeah but my insane is cheeky and fun. Their insane is cruel and tragic
I’m going to pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans
Hey EABOD25, what’s the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?
Insane!? You’re talking about Insane right?
No, no. The one with the wild and wacky activities!
You and @[email protected] aren’t on hexbear, though, are you?
I normally search search by “all” when scrolling and I’ll see one or two posts from there. I haven’t really figured out all the technicals, but I see posts from all instances
Sure, but I meant you asked if everyone in hexbear is insane, and they included you and themselves in the hexbear server, I think?
Anyway, you can block users/communities/servers, still. Maybe that can improve your experience?
My experience is already great. There’s nothing anyone can say to me to ruin my day
It might vary from app to app, but there are usually options to toggle between Local and Everywhere for “All” content, if you want to see just what is on your own instance versus all other instances yours is federated with.
I first was introduced to hex by a similar post, idk the community, and my first reaction was, "holy shit it, those people are toxic!” maybe it was a complaint about the dunktank. Since then, I’ve come to recognize how intelligent and sane they actually are.
Abuse begets abuse, and the cycle continues. I do hope my own instance hasn’t defederated. I’ve learned so much, incrementally, and developed a particular fondness for some users. I do feel enriched for them and ml having educated me patiently and kindly. I see them as older siblings who are human, like me. In fact, I’d say there are some I adore. Not hero worship, because that sets is up for disappointment or cult of personality. Just a particular fondness.
Yes. Block the community and move on.
🙄
Not all of them, some are just idiots.
Last I checked there was an instance rule preventing the posting of pictures of cheese without a trigger warning.
This is a great thread for finding new people to block
My experience is that people in lemmy.world are intolerant bigots.
Not really. They have a lot of bits and in-jokes which are going to seem incomprehensible to anyone from the outside, but most of them are pretty chill if you engage in good faith. It’s like a lot of tech communities; if you don’t do your research and ask intelligent questions, you’re likely to get told to RTFM.
If you say something wrong about something they care about and you can’t back it up, they’re going to be rude to you.
Where are people seeing this hexbear and lemmygrad content? I use the Thunder client with a lemmy.world account. I don’t have those instances blocked but never see anything from them. Is it because I created my account on lemmy.world?
The majority of instances defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad. I think if you have an account on such an instance you’ll never see anyone or anything from them (correct me if I’m wrong). If your own instance is not defederated from them, then you may see the odd hexbear or lemmygrad user or community, but since most instances have defederated from them, that also means that the communities hosted there won’t have hexbear or lemmygrad users in them. Likewise, if you are not defederated from them, and find a community hosted by an instance that is also not defederated from them, you will almost certainly see troll comments from hexbear or lemmygrad. I hope that’s somewhat clear.
Is it because I created my account on lemmy.world?
Correct. Lemmy.world’s admin “pre-emptively defederated Hexbear as a last resort”.
Lol. “Pre-emptive last resort” is one of the best oxymorons I’ve heard in a while
When you surf the site, do you surf by your subscribed?
No. I usually browse all.
Hmm… you got me then, friendo
Both banned by your instance: https://lemmy.world/instances
lemmy.world preemptively defederated from hexbear before hexbear had even turned on the ability to federate. In the Lemmy.world defederation post they also said that defederation has a “last resort” lmao.
I think the LW admins think their users are stupid.
I was bullied for off Lemmy.One by the hexbear mods who sent hexbear users my way to harass me…
All for (while I’m still a raging communist) not being a pro authoritarian communist.
Do you have any examples of this? Since world is defederated from that instance, I only end up visiting it when people like you come in and talk about how absolutely crazy it is over there, so occasionally I’ll take a curious peek. This time I see… a post about Indigenous rights, a post criticizing capitalism, a post dunking on musk, a post about FOSS… when do I start seeing the crazy?
