I don’t mind the posts and the communities, but so many of the users are insufferable.
I don’t really care where users are from, and I think it causes fractures and fragmentation across lemmy.
In a void without enemies, we make our own, it seems.
hexbear users are the rick and morty fanbase of lemmy instances

I like hexbear, I dont mind the posts, but the users are like rick and morty fans, they ruin it.

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

I’ve noticed that Lemmy and other alternative platforms tend to harbor extremes.

Still better than the typical crap you see on reddit. I hate to say it, but the influx of normal/trashy people is worse than the bots. Gimme someone with enough independent thought to consider themselves a third wave communist or whatever.

I imagine most people here are Reddit refugees, and I guess being that principled could be seen as a kind of extremism in itself. I don’t really consider myself the most non-confrontational person either.

Infosec, really? I haven’t noticed that trend. Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention to the user’s instance enough. I absolutely did notice the others you mentioned, though, but that may be because there are more bad eggs than good in those places lol
qaz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I haven’t seen much extreme comments coming from infosec either.
Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 10 months ago
I don’t remember having issues with anyone from there for a while but there was a time that there was several of them over a short period of time.

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.
SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I mean, blahaj are understandably defensive; it’s a mostly gender fluid/trans instance and they are very much under the microscope right now. But yeah, your comment tracks <3
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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!
SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 10 months ago
you sound defensive for someone with no skin in the game :D
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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?

lmao, genocide deniers with good intentions. that’s an interesting way to frame it
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Isn’t Hexbear a leftist community? Aren’t leftists by default anti-imperialist and the biggest genocides in history and ongoing perpetrated by bloodthirsty empires? I feel like most people affiliated can’t be genocide deniers, come on…

To be fair, you have to have very high IQ to understand Hexbear.

hexbearians generally hate vaus, in my experience

Tell you don’t know what hexbear even is without telling me you don’t know what hexbear even is
SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I don’t love or watch hasan, but he cannot be as bad as voosh, surely? Like if you need to watch a big streamer, I’d see a hasan fan as someone with good intentions, but I’d be wary of a vaush fan; anything in the destiny orbit has stage 4 debatebro cancer.

they both have a hard-on for authorian regimes is all I mean. I wasn’t comparing their degrees of harm
Wilco@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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?
SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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
