I don’t mind the posts and the communities, but so many of the users are insufferable.

They poison the well for any cool person who might be registered there.

    Just make fun of Russia or laugh at them and call them a bot for saying “zionist” too much. They will ban you from hexbear, then you block them and never have to hear from them again.

    Yes, you could skip the first step … but where is the fun in that?

      I kind of like seeing the posts tho, but the commenter are so hostile. like, is there a button to block the commenters but not the instance? that would be a nice feature to implement :D

    Virtually any time I get viciously attacked by someone on Lemmy it’s almost exclusively someone from either Hexbear, Lemmygrad, blahaj or infosec.

      I mean, blahaj are understandably defensive; it’s a mostly gender fluid/trans instance and they are very much under the microscope right now. I give my trans buddies more leeway to be angry right now, they are going through a lot, and I assume the strangers on blahaj feel the same. It might be directionless anger sometimes, but that comes out when you are constantly under stress. But yeah, I understand what you are saying <3

    • I’ve seen the db0 admins getting a little power trippy. Like instance ban for a conversation in a community on a different instance. Following all rules and being respectful the entire time. Im happy to respect the db0 rules and fedi sovereignty on their instance. I don’t think instance bans for off instance activities is right.

    People keep on saying this but I haven’t noticed it. Am I just immune to being greatly annoyed by the delivery if the intentions are right? Show me where the hexbear touched you, OP!

        I’m sorry, OP, I’ve just read that a couple too many times and I truly wonder what the reasoning behind it is. Is it just American right-wingers complaining? Cause, whatever, America is going full isolationist so we only have to listen to them for a decade or so before they firewall everything and Lemmy goes full German, lol. Or is it something else?

          The american right wingers comment was offhand and mostly a joke. like another user said, it was probably a bot. Or, it was a user I annoyed who is a mod on a small instance, and they banned me out of frustration. they might have even been right wing, who knows?

          Sounds like there’s something behind your comment, if you have a problem with anything I’ve said, just come out and say it.

            Stop feeding the troll, for crying out loud. Look at their comment history. Look at the account’s name. Can you guess that they’re arguing in bad faith?

            Social media literacy died in 2020, I swear.

              I don’t think they are a troll, I just think they are very poorly informed, and possibly stupid. But thenks for the headsup, I checked their comment history after reading your comment, I see how you came to that conclusion. “Never attribute to malice what can easily be explained by stupidity”
