Comment on Is there a way to block hexbear

  1. The name of our instance is literally in this post what do you expect

  2. This instance is called “main” and the sidebar says it is the “Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.” How is anyone supposed to know this is a “support” comm?

    Well that’s normally what the “main” community for any instance would be, announcements and support posts. But I understand if that isn’t really clear

      /c/main was our shitposting comm for a while, until it was closed in a controversial mod decision

      last i checked it was reopened as a joke and any post/comment without the word “main” in it gets removed

      Not to pick sides, but I've literally never heard that before. I've always seen Main used the same as a General channel. That being said, if it's truly important, just create an account on Kbin for awhile until Lemmy has the same blocking capabilities.

  We could say the same for y’all.

    I do scroll past hexbear posts but I would rather just not see them which is why I asked

      That’s all fine and good. There are likely dozens of well mannered users on both sides of the federation fence. It’s just the few arseholes also on both sides making it hell for everyone. I don’t see why we can’t just sub to the coms we like and be done with it. But lemmy keeps showing the weirdest shit and the knee-jerk reaction is to comment on it.

        Funny how we didn’t have any asshole issues since we defederated from EH and we suddenly have an asshole issue now that your instance whitelisted us…

        It’s largely the active sort imo. It’s night and day since before we reverted from our custom algorithm.
