God that post reeks of “terminally online”, which hexbears generally are, so checks out

Why yes, groups of people who act like a bunch of dogpiling 4chan trolls typically don’t have their beliefs respected or acknowledged. Tone is important. Glad we could help you come to that realization.

I’ll be switching and abandoning this account if imaqtpie doesn’t change their mind within a few days.

Aye aye aye, blocked em already in my app.

Why tf did you guys federate with us? Everyone here thinks you’re a pest and most of you seem to be miserable interacting with us. Leave?

Y’all are exhausting, I don’t have the time or energy to engage with paragraphs over niche Internet drama because your lot doesn’t know how to play nice. Feels exactly like when we were federated with exploding-heads. Touch some grass.

Yeah, garbage post. I expect we’ll see discussion/vote for defederation soon, though. I’d like to hear from TheDude as his stance made a lot more sense when we were defederating from exploding-heads.

Literal children

Correct!

A hexbear user complaining about people engaging in bad faith is just… y’all are on a different planet.

Yeah I think we should put this up to a vote. Seems the majority of the instance disagrees that hexbear is a “valuable asset”

Yeh y’know I’ve changed my mind. If it comes to a vote for defederation I’ll be an aye. Seems everyone has the same experience with them. And they’ll push new users away.

We know how they are because we’ve interacted with them on the larger federation lol. That’s what we’re talking about here. You apparently haven’t interacted with them, so I’m not even sure what the point of this comment is. The OP isn’t pushing for defederation, they’re just opening a discussion. Not sure how this is any indication that lemmy is failing. Pull up on the reins a bit.

I just can’t wait for full instance blocking. I haven’t seen them offer anything but vitriol, just horribly toxic, seems like an instance of trolls. I block their communities when they pop up. I don’t really want to advocate for defederating but I’ll definitely be blocking their instance personally.

Hexbear users have been some of the most toxic I’ve come across

UH OHHHHH, better hand in your hexbear membership, you don’t fit in, you dirty racist

Lmfao I’m in the same boat. It’s exhausting.

Lotta radical communities here who like to brigade posts on other, completely unrelated communities. Conversations were calmer with fewer slurs being thrown around a couple months ago.

Boy I can’t wait for instance blocking

That’s still the prevailing opinion in this thread lol.
