I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.
i’ve been filtering hexbear’s communities from my all feed with uBO[1] because of the tankie vibes, but outside their own communities hexbear people seem to behave themselves reasonably well. considering lemmygrad is defederated i can expect them being defederated as well just because of the politics, but they don’t seem too brigade-y to the communities here.
to be fair i’ve been blocking all the politics and politic-adjacent communities left right and center so perhaps i’m just not seeing the bad parts of hexbear, but shitposting wise they seem alright.
the only real gripe i have with hexbear is that lemmy’s handling of emoji in general suck and man do they like their emojis. but that’s a software issue more than anything

↩︎We defederated lemmygrad? Why?
Ada took issue with their politics it seems.
Politics alone isn’t the issue. That’s why hexbear isn’t defederated. The issue with lemmygrad was the brigading, trolling, and being ok with wishing death on the people of NATO (not just memes/quips about dismantling the organisation)
