Huh? I haven’t seen that at all. They existed for years before there were all these instances, they weren’t even federated. They’d survive just as well on their own even if every instance blocked them.
The point I was making was less about activity within hexbear, more about their activity in other instances. In the instances they’re still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments but instead comments from lemmy.ml and some others that sound like hexbear users.
Do you guys ever even hear yourselves? It’s almost impossible to mock you because it would be indistinguishable from the actual nonsense you come up with.
Lol my instance has never been defederated from hexbear, which is, I’m guessing, why you signed up for lemm.ee also. I was mainly referring to hexbear activity outside of their own instance - even in instances that hexbear is still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments than before they were defederated by world and SJW. Instead, I see new users from instances still federated with hexbear (eg lemmy.ml) talking like hexbear users.
More than anything, the thing that annoys me most about hexbear is the double standards. They claim to be open for discussion, but the majority of users are not, they behave childishly. The moderators are often far worse. Many posts openly encourage brigading, rather than just discussing an image of someone’s comment they want to criticise, they keep the username in and sometimes even include direct links.
Lemm.ee is a lovely place run by a top admin who really knows his stuff (he introduces new features early but also only when they work, and he was key in helping with some of the major issues that affected other intances, even though his instance was immune to begin with). I’m a little wary of hexbear infiltration but accept it, because that’s what having an open and widely federated instance is all about.
I seem to notice a lot of discussions about Hexbear. Since my instance preemptively defederated from you, I have some questions. What is the objective/goal of Hexbear? Currently, I kinda feel old 4chan trolling vibes.
the admins defedded from hex without letting their users having their own choice. I mean can’t they refederate now and let users just block instances they choose? Hexbear gives that choice. People defederate from them, not the other way around.
I have only seen hexbear explicitly condemn anti semitism and do not consider jewishness to be any factor in the current conflict
their position is that zionism is a far right ideology created by fascists to justify the construction of a colonial state, not for any true need of jews. Zionism is not Jewish, it is using jews to perpetuate settler colonialism.
I have no problem with Tankie takes on Israel. They see this side clearly. My problem is when your favorite youtubers and twitter lefties are saying “Hamas is good actually, and Israeli Settlers deserve it” like for fucks sake. Tankies call for violence more than they call for leftist solutions.
Lemmy.world, Hexbear…
Also possible on Connect
By removing lemmy.world you remove half of Lemmy’s content. Bad idea
And by removing hexbear you remove the other half
Difference being that lemmy.world is willing to engage in good faith as opposed to Hexbear which is perpetually bloodthirsty and hateful.
Hexbear activity seems to have dropped significantly since no one wants to be federated with them. Most of the users now lurk in other instances.

Stick to the echo chamber.
What’s nonsense about that comment?
If you ever want a good example of sealioning, here it is!
That’s not sealioning.
…where?
Sanest hexbear user
Lol you give a good example of what can be avoided by blocking tankie instances. Thanks for the meltdown.

Hexbear is nowhere close to half of Lemmy. Even the trio of Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml are a small, angry chunk.
The shit half lawl
Also formula1 is there
lemmyworld is a shithole, ban it in order to free yourself from the final reddit clone
141 comments in 7 hours. Damn who pissed in your cereal
They can’t get a job, a liberal took all the jobs or something idk. That’s why yhey have all the free time to comment.

Yep sounds like a total not-idiot to me!
Exactly. Its basically the reddit of lemmy, and the admins are assholes.
the admins defedded from hex without letting their users having their own choice. I mean can’t they refederate now and let users just block instances they choose? Hexbear gives that choice. People defederate from them, not the other way around.
Defederating hexbear is likely a legal thing as they spread antisemitism to a extent that its illegal in most countries.
I have only seen hexbear explicitly condemn anti semitism and do not consider jewishness to be any factor in the current conflict
their position is that zionism is a far right ideology created by fascists to justify the construction of a colonial state, not for any true need of jews. Zionism is not Jewish, it is using jews to perpetuate settler colonialism.
And thats obviously wrong. There are a fuck load of hexbears being very clear about their wish for Israels destruction…
Israel is a settler colonial state, wouldn’t matter if they were jewish or german or fuckin italians, that is wrong
or are you against anti-colonialism? If you don’t support anti-colonialism, you aren’t left. that simple
I have no problem with Tankie takes on Israel. They see this side clearly. My problem is when your favorite youtubers and twitter lefties are saying “Hamas is good actually, and Israeli Settlers deserve it” like for fucks sake. Tankies call for violence more than they call for leftist solutions.
A person that sides with Hamas or thinks any of their actions are justified is a gigantic pice of shit.
You guys defederating from Lemmy.nz in a fit though, not the other way around.
Most of it is trash and Lemmy.world becomes a walled garden.
Lemmy.world??
