edit: muting this thread, goodbye.
Finally! This place just isn’t the same without pics of pigs shitting on their own balls.
I tried to get AI to generate it for me but it’s just not the same.
It’s about time they showed up, during trans day of visibility no less 😌
Move to an instance that defederates then, and move on? I’m not the biggest fan by any mean, but this kind of posts is just calling for some instance slapstick fights in the comments
For a list:
- https://lemmy.ca/ for a North American instance
- https://sopuli.xyz/ for a European one
I get what you’re saying, but this is mostly a joke.
There is some cool people there.
If it’s a joke, that’s all good. It’s just that some other people don’t make jokes, they try to hide instance beefing messages in some memes, and that usually just brings negativity in the comments.
There are a few users that come to mind with that, haha. Seems drama baiting is all they do, whether it be by making anti-Marxist memes to draw on drama, or by constantly reposting everything that gets posted on Lemmy.ml on other comms.
Seriously, 90% of it would probably die down if those accounts stopped. Especially ironic is that seemingly the most anti-Hexbear people are the least capable of describing their overall political views, which IMO explains the counter-productive behavior.
Agreed. You’re free to not like the way an instance or community is run, just contribute to others.
You’re right, I dislike people who deliberately put instance beefing memes onto ml and grad just to annoy them, its like poking a hornets nest.
I know, won’t someone think of the poor tankies? Tankies are the most oppressed demographic on Lemmy. Not like those privileged trans people with their own whole instance
I get your point, but at the same time, I feel its just better to leave them by themselves.
Also, I dislike the tankies there, but there is other cool people on the instance.
When Hexbear sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending other cool people. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing flamewars. They’re bringing spam. They’re brigaders. And some, I assume, are good people.
There is instances which block them.
It’s a reference to one of the taglines that appears when using hexbear.net. Visit the link, then look at the top (may not work on mobile apps). Refresh, and you’ll get a different blurb.
And here I thought it was a reference to a Trump speech
Ohh, I had seen those before.
Yep! My favorite is the one that has a hypothetical future Soviet America, written as a POV, and someone gets home from work and a random Hexbear user calls them a revisionist, lmao
If I join lemmy.ca and my country invades them will they kick my red blooded american ass out
it won’t work, they defederated us and I still see their cancer here.
Don’t have a problem with what instance you’re on as long as you’re respectful I’ll be respectful back
I totally agree. But that instance is slightly notorious for brigading threads.
They got like 6 people in here doing just that.
Learn how federation works, or better yet, go back to reddit

I just blocked the whole instance as soon as the option was implemented. There were few good posts/comunities from it, but overall better to block it whole.
Do be aware of the limitations of user blocking though.
However will lemmy deal with dissenting or socialist comments? Oh bless my pure centrist heart!
Me; new here thinking “hexbear” is the furry server… Oh…
Well I was half right
Never noticed they were gone. Just checked and my instance defederated from them. All is good in the world.
Seriously.
Feels good man.
You know that you can block instances yourself? Like you don’t have to be forced to see their stuff. I think some of y’all enjoy whinging about shit for the sake of it.
I’m fine with hex, for the most part. This is a joke, in the jokes about the fediverse community.
You know that blocking an instance does not block users from that instance?
But it blocks all posts that are posted to communities on on that instance, so it guts 90% of the shit you don’t want to see. Just block users when they piss you off.
The constant posting of hatred towards other instances is just as if not more annoying to me than the dumb shit hexbear comes out with.
But it doesn’t block votes, so their users will still influence your feed.
It’s not that I don’t want to see them, it’s just I don’t want to waste my time replying to anything when anything other than “DAE hate westoids?” gets deleted right away.
Blocks don’t hide your posts from them or prevent them from responding to your comments.

I immediately went into my Voyager settings to block the entire instance the moment I saw one of their comments. Not making the same mistake twice.
The spectre of Communism had you spooked, lol
And here we have a hot take from a member of the Commie Triad. 🙃
Lol, I see you commented with both your profiles ITT, and that you’re a member of multiple horrible communities.
the Commie Triad
lmao turns out this whining has always been red baiting
It was a joke, not a hot take. And yes, I’m a Communist, if you don’t like Communists you probably won’t like me.
As for this thread, I made one comment on my Hexbear alt for the emoji, and then swapped to this one, my main, so not really sure what your point is, here. What “horrible communities” am I a member of?
Correct, I don’t like you. Thanks for the advice to block people.
Edit: Funny enough I blocked Diva before reading their comment asking me to block them. 🤣
make sure to block me too so I don’t have to see your shit
You’re actually pretty obnoxious with this…
I literally couldn’t give less of a shit, if you’re fine sitting at the table with Nazis, be my guest, I have a zero tolerance policy.
Equating Communists to Nazis is a form of Nazi apologia. I suggest you read Blackshirts and Reds.
Cool 👍
I can get disliking tankies (not communists, there’s a distinction), but you’re being a bit obnoxious. Just block silently and move on.
In practical terms, “tankie” just means Communist, but coming from someone who is anti-Communist. It’s kinda like “woke.”
I wouldn’t consider myself anti-communist by any means. I do use the term when people glorify north korea and the ussr though.
All my experiences with that instance and similar ones have been disgusting.
Pushing people who post burning flags of a country and posts about it to be fully wiped out are accepted… Criticism regarding this gets your comment remove and a ban from the community.
I don’t need that again. Where can I block those pseudo-left pro-authoritarians instance?
You’re talking about Hexbear being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist as though they are anti-semetic and wish extermination on Jewish people. No, that’s not how Hexbear is, Hexbear is neither genocidal nor anti-semetic.
You might be talking about something else, but burning a flag of say, the US, does not mean Hexbear wants to slaughter everyone in the US. It means Hexbear stands against the US State and its ruling class, same with Israel and its genocidal ruling class.
Anti-Zionism, anti-fascism, and being pro-Palestine are all 3 Leftist stances.
Anyway, to block a community, you can do it in your settings. You will still see comments from users, just not comms.
Unfortuantely, blocking an instance only blocks posts and communities from it. You will still get comments.
That’s fucking lame as shit, I really appreciated when lemm.ee had them blocked.
When did we have them blocked? there was a brief period there where their domain expired, and they had to stay offline to fix it.
I don’t believe they did, but Hexbear was complete defederated for a while when they were having their domain name issue.
I’m aware of that, but there’s some puzzle piece missing between Lemm.ee, Voyager and whatever else, because I didn’t see any of them for more than a year.
You were probably just lucky.

I’m not being shut out by Nazis, I’ll block them all if that’s what it takes, this is my fucking account, I’m not giving it to because of them.

Must be a sad life to ignore the only serious left posters in the anglosphere, have fun getting banned for saying we need more luigis.
Authoritarianism is the antithesis of leftism. Hexbear sure loves authoritarians despite being “serious leftists”.
Show me one example of this fabled love for authoritarianism I’m always hearing about.
Take a gander through MeanwhileOnGrad. All sorts of authoritarian bootlicking documented right there for anyone to see.
Cherry-picked posts from an instance that isn’t even the one I’m talking about is supposed to be evidence of a general attitude?
Sorry you can’t be bothered to look at the evidence that’s clearly available right in front of you from a community meant to document this sort of behaviour. Where that evidence is is irrelevant, the behaviour itself is on full display for you to see.
It’s not in front of me, it’s about a different instance than I was talking about, and I am on hexbear every day, I don’t need an outsider’s fake summary.
Capitalism is the antithesis of leftism. Oppressing the bigots and capitalists is the essence of leftism.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Authoritarianism is not acceptable regardless of what your ideology is, and goes against everything actual leftists stand for. People like you are no better than the capitalists and fascists you claim to be against.
Funny you would say that, because by calling for the left to neuter its ability to liberate the working class, you’re no better than the capitalists and fascists you don’t even claim to be against.
The actual leftists will not sit down and let the bourgeoisie continue to oppress people just because it’s “authoritarian” to stop them. I really wonder what you think the left is. If you want a hint, it’s not Hillary Clinton.

?? Most hexbears would literally throw a party if Trump was annihilated
No, they really would not, but I understand it’s part of the agenda to make that seemingly unclear.
I can show you the posts of the celebrations when he got covid. His death would bring sweet catharsis for all of us. I am baffled that anyone could think otherwise.
Lol at the 4 losers who downvoted every comment somebody from hexbear made. Just block the instance if you’re this mad.
Blocking the instance does not block comments from that instance, only posts.
They should block the users as they see them then, not like there’s actually that many.
Welcome back!

not interested in that.

No, I’m talking about people from there literally suggesting to wipe out Israel… That very innovative idea hasn’t worked for the last 80 years and won’t in the next 80 years. That’s as intelligent as suggesting to wipe out the other side. I am not interested in that kind of content.
Nobody suggests that. People want the dissolution of the Israeli state, this does not mean genocide of all Israelis, and conflating the two is a tool Zionists use in order to pretend Pro-Palestinian protestors are anti-semetic genocidal monsters.
lol, yeah, let’s act like it did not happen. I’d try to find it and post you a link, but my comment was removed by the very brave moderators who did not do anything against the extremism and made sure that there was no criticism.
The word was “destruction” and that was described as “based”.
Destruction of the State apparatus of Israel would indeed be based, as Israelis and Palestinians could live in a single, secular, democratic Palestine.
Well, I can totally get what you’re talking about, but instance blocking on lemmy only blocks communities and posts from a specific instance.
I’d recommend you check out an instance which defederates from hex. Like lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works and sopuli.xyz.Thanks for the explanation.
Settings -> Filters & Blocks -> Scroll to the bottom to find “Blocked Instances”.
You’ll still see their comments though on other instances.
