  the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse

  Fixing emote scaling would make it less jarring to see them out in the wild. The ppb moratorium has cleaned up threads a lot and hope it continues. Honestly at this point, I’m more annoyed by posts about hexbear/defederation than I am about the instance, especially people who have made it their entire personality to campaign for censoring it from lemmy entirely.

  This is the thing about people that aren’t used to about engaging with hexbear - they aren’t used to holding minoritarian viewpoints. They liked that on other platforms (and IRL) they could just throw around the weight of institutional orthodoxy and “common sense” and be validated by crowd affirmation without having to really explain themselves, so when they’re made to show their work, their argumentation really pales in comparison to users on hexbear who have spent years arguing in favor of some the most suppressed political ideologies in the West.

  tbh idk how people can complain about “off-topic” conversations. Just collapse the thread, fam. It really is that easy 🤷🏽‍♀️

  what?

  Good, I like having them around. They give the fediverse the spice of life that prevents it from becoming just another necrotic pool of internet backwash filled with stale memes and pandering comments like what late Digg became and what reddit has been turning into.
