You all know why
Warrior of Ukraine ( @JackBruh@lemm.ee ) 51•11 months agoNo. Just block the communities you don’t want to see.
A feature to block entire instances is also coming to lemmy so use that instead of trying to wave around the ban hammer like the power tripping instances.
Or use Sync for Lemmy, it can also filter entire instances.
acastcandream ( @acastcandream@beehaw.org ) 23•11 months agoI hate this logic. If we aren’t supposed to defederate, then we shouldn’t have the option. It is a core feature of the fediverse. It can and should be used.
All of y’all who talk like this need to go back to Reddit. This is not Reddit. We need to use the tools available to us to keep out bad actors. Build up your own instance if you want to let every asshole through the door.
rckclmbr ( @rckclmbr@lemm.ee ) 12•11 months agoThis doesn’t work. I blocked hexbear but the users comments are still here
simple ( @simple@lemm.ee ) English43•11 months agoThe Lemm.ee admin talked about it here
TL;DR: This instance wants to federate with everyone as much as possible. You can block hexbear communities if you’d like.
I have like 60 communities blocked by now but it feels nice to make my own choices.
net00 ( @net00@lemm.ee ) English29•11 months agoMany people are very triggered in that post and I don’t get it.
No platform is gonna have only decent users and only content you agree with. Resorting to defederation from any instance that is offensive to some people just damages what lemmy is trying to be tbh.
Eventually instances following that mindset will be isolated because there’s always someone out there who wants to impose their own content curation (like no NSFW, no politics, no trolling, no memes, etc…)
Users should make the calls for what they want to see on an individual level. Thanks to the admin for sticking to fair policies.
rckclmbr ( @rckclmbr@lemm.ee ) 11•11 months agoI blocked hexbear, but commenters still show up in non-hexbear threads. Is this a bug, or do I just have to deal with it?
acastcandream ( @acastcandream@beehaw.org ) English14•11 months agoI am watching instances on the fediverse once again fall into the trappings of giving too much benefit of the doubt/giving too much commitment to some flawed notion of “free speech” and all I can think about is how that is 90% of what ruins any quality community that starts gaining traction online.
If this is the road we’re going down we may as well leave now. I’m tired of seeing this happen over and over again. 
Admins: y’all need to be more liberal with the ban hammer. You also need to defederate from communities that are so blatantly toxic and fucked up. There are enough people out there now that we don’t need to be hanging out with literally any person who expresses interest in the fediverse. It’s time to exercise a little bit of discernment. Your generosity will be used against you like a cudgel. Make no mistake.
Defederate. It’s the right call.
rckclmbr ( @rckclmbr@lemm.ee ) 4•11 months agoFuck, prime lemmy is done. It’s all downhill from here folks
pizzahoe ( @pizzahoe@lemm.ee ) 31•11 months agoNo I don’t know why. What have they done to you?
Cavemanfreak ( @Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee ) 24•11 months agoThis comment section is a prime example. They brigade every single post about China/Russia or about them, and if you find one there are ten others there as well. If you think lemmygrad is bad, hexbear is way worse.
Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English18•11 months agoWhy? They think my jokes are funny.
carly™ ( @carlytm@lemm.ee ) English14•11 months agoMaybe I’m just living under a rock but I hadn’t even heard of, let alone seen, Hexbear prior to this post and had to do a search to see what you were talking about. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English25•11 months agoThey’re absolutely harmless, and I don’t understand the recent hubbub. Their culture is a bit strange, but they mostly seem to just want to shitpost about politics in peace. They won’t bother you unless you say “defederate hexbear” 3 times in a mirror, and then they swarm, I think just wanting hugs or something.
QuinceDaPence ( @QuinceDaPence@kbin.social ) 5•11 months agoAll I see from there is random word spam that all have a link to stupid images from there.
That’s why I want it de-federated.
Dr. Wesker ( @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org ) English10•11 months agoJust because they speak a different language, doesn’t to me feel like a reason to defederate. They also seem to be fairly self-policing.
For instance they like to perform what they call “dunking” which I believe originates from a collective idolization of Michael Jordan.
However, they keep posting reminders to one another to not bring the “pig poop balls” to other instances, as to not offend outsiders. They use the acronym PPB, and I think it has something to do with a lack of fecal hygiene being a large spreader of disease.
kitonthenet ( @kitonthenet@kbin.social ) 10•11 months agoI’m sure these comments will be normal
GivingEuropeASpook ( @GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee ) 2•11 months agoI’m actually pretty confused, because according to hexbear, they’re not federated with sh.itjust.works but when I view this post from my sh.itjust account, i see WAAAAAY more comments…
