when Hexbear users start trolling lemm.ee users with stalker hit lists saying I and other users they don’t like have been “scoped” it’s time to gtfo. this isn’t a political issue, it’s an issue of a instant full of psych bullies that need to be kept away from everyone else.
there’s no defense for this
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
give it a few minutes. they’ll come an troll you here and troll bait you with some ridiculous logically-fallacious argument blaming your for your own victimhood.

“DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”

thanks for proving my point, all of you. even when the lemm.ee admins are watching, you just can’t behave yourselves and act like this…

bullying and trollspam is how Hexbear works. that’s why so many people want to degenerate from you
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
People from other instances commenting on your posts is the whole point of federation
no, the point of federation is to avoid centralized control of the platform, not to be forced to endure bullies and trolls— it’s also to allow defederation from troll farm instances like yours.

explaining the means and methods of the brigading doesn’t change what it is and its effects on the communities.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
exactly. defederation isn’t necessarily permenant
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
yes, that was a silly mistake. I deleted the comment.
thanks for the info!
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
hostile. kinda making my point for me.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
I was wrong. please disregard
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
oops!
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
Can’t wait until users are able to block instances so this becomes a non-issue. Probably a compromise could be defederating until the feature is ready, not sure if that’s possible, and on the event Hexbear admins/mods not do enough to moderate.
👍
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
my biggest concern is not only their individual behavior, but their tendency to brigade posts. I’ve seen hexbear users get into a disagreement with another user then, suddenly, 5 or 10 more appear, vote-manipulate, and dogpile troll the person into submission. it’s pretty ugly and shocking to see.
look, I appreciate that you guys are trying to use defederation as a last resort, but… c’mon, do you really see these users all suddenly changing their toxic behaviors? and why should this whole instance suffer the consequences with individual users here being left to fend for ourselves, having to spend half our time here blocking hundred and hundreds of users every time one of them gets “upset” and instigates a brigade and cavalcade of trolls?
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
We try to encourage people to engage in a healthy way here on Lemm.ee
hexbear users, if you look at their post/comment histories, the modulo’s, etc., show they have zero interest in that.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
I’ve been in touch with you personally regarding this, and the evidence of mass brigading, trolling, and their toxicity is abound.
the only change is the value and frequency of their toxic bullying and trolling. keep his instance safe and defederate.

I’ve heard the devil is beating his wife but only rarely.
I heard it, I think, once from a very old lady in Alabama who also used the n-word like she’d drop dead if she stopped. it formed a negative association for me.

- Comment on Was Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money? 1 year ago:
No, for real. Disney makes more money from parks than they do from movies.
this is sorta true, but not fr the reason you think. yes, the parks pull in big cash for Disney, but it’s what they sell there that’s the real money-maker for Disney and always has been: merchandising.
I have a brother who lives in Orlando and works for a contracting company as a civil engineer. He did some work for them maybe a decade ago the they are working on this one building in the Magic Kingdom, on Main Street near the entrance that had this huge shop in it. One o those gift shops that everyone stops at right before they leave that has souvenirs and merch from every franchise, of every character, of any damned Disney thing you can think of just so they can shake you down one last time before you leave the park for he day.
So, they’re doing so hurricane repair to the building and it’s some major work. They’ve shut down the entire building to d major structural repair, and he’s one of the engineers telling the park manager team that they need to shut the store for a day or two in order to replace some critical support something or other. Well, the Disney people weren’t having that. They made it clear that the store could not be closed, not or a day, not for an hour, not for a minute because it, by far, was the best moneymaker at any of the parks, reaping just titanic amounts of cash— more than all the parks or hotels combined. My brother and the other engineers are trying, pleading, with the Disney guys telling them that not only may it not be possible to do it any other way that going into the store to work, but that if they could, I could triple the work time and budget. They didn’t care.
The Disney guys basically told the engineering team, and later the site mangers and up the chain at the contracting company, that they didn’t care how the long the project took or how much it cost or even if they had to tear down the whole structure around the store and rebuild it— they were not, under any circumstances, to disturb the smooth operation of the store the one tiny bit. One single day of operation made so much money that it’s ridiculous, so the Disney people just didn’t care what had to be done to keep it open. They were like, “we’d close all three parks before we’d close that store. get it done.”
so, yeah, the parks make tons of cash, that’s true, but nothing compares to the money they make selling Disney-branded merch.
