    It’s honestly sad, almost to the point where defederating from them would be better

    But I’m sure we’d be loosing good people from hexbear too

      Eh, I don’t plan on defederating over such drama. They see some value in some of our users and we see some value in some of their users and we can ban the red-fash apologists and disinfo peddlers if they become a problem.

          My instance is defederated with them, and most of the (politically) negative interactions I’ve had with people from other instances, I check hexbear, and so far 100% of the time they have an account with the same name there

          I’ve had, but it’s mostly outside of their areas, or with people who are not immediately closing ranks and arguing in bad faith. Just before I got banned I had someone praise me for being chill, so 🤷

            Most people on hexbear with any desire to participate in good faith will have other accounts elsewhere, Hexbear is already isolated as can be so multiple accounts is basically required for them to participate on the rest of the Fediverse. Shouldn’t feel too bad about cutting off their Hexbear accounts since they almost certainly have others.

      I had to join a defederated server after the mods sent hexbear users my way to harass he after a I reported users for harassment…

      As someone no longer part of their drama, yall should defederate.

      Not really, the good people will just make accounts elsewhere and start using those accounts to interact here and on the rest of the fediverse, most of the good ones already do that because hexbear is already very isolated by virtue of the fact they’re using whitelist federation and also the fact that they already have been defederated for the spam, trolling, and harassment their less savory members bring about (and more importantly the fact that it is unpunished by their instance’s moderators if not encouraged).

              What a sad little existence you Hexbear clowns have that you need to create alt accounts and troll people because you can’t deal with people calling out your dumb shit.

              If you don’t want to be treated like an asshole, don’t be an asshole. Not blocking you because reporting You for this shit will get you banned. Which is what you need.

                Yeah they’re posting from a lemmy.world account, Lemmy.world doesn’t tolerate spammers, which is what this guy is. He is posting emoji spam.
