I pointed out how many of them were popping up here yesterday and their response seemed to be to “rules lawyer” me that the post didn’t specifically say they couldn’t post here and the nature of Lemmy means they could see it on All. My thoughts are basic etiquette should indicate it’s a conversation about them, not with them but apparently not.
Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

For anyone keeping count, I’ve switched to my lemmy.world account (which has defederated from Hexbear) and the comments on this thread are at 209. When I logged out of my Lemm.ee account there were over 800, so that means roughly 600 of the comments on a meta thread for the lemme.ee instance are from Hexbear users, or in threads started by them.
They literally can’t help but themselves. They have to make every single post, every single comment that they can, about themselves.
It would have been impossible for them to sit there and allow lemm.ee to have a conversation about them without jumping in.
And this is them on their “best” behavior

If someone’s talking about you in public it’s not a severe breach of etiquette to join in, especially if you disagree with what’s being said and think they’re talking shit.
I said severe there for a reason. I think the oldest modern western standard looks down on even someone saying “my ears are burning” but that’s almost Victorian.

Blahj had the same issue a few days ago and had to literally make a second thread that hexbear admins barred their users from so that they could have an internal discussion. Despite how upset that instance was hexbears just can not help but invade this discussion too.
