Recently I was browsing some communities I typically hang out in and I started noticing Hexbear accounts being... well their typical selves.
Which made me check which account I was on because I've got a few, and when I noticed I was on my Blahaj account I had to check and it looks like we're federated again?
Kbin would be great without them. They really do spoil it for me and for some obscure reason you can't block anything hexbear. I really can't understand why we're federated.
Wouldn't surprise me given the overlap in their... let's call it thinking. Still, there's nothing to suggest that e.g. Ernest from kbin is a tankie dipshit, so it's still weird we also have to deal with it.
Instance blocking, in the absence of people doing their job, needs to arrive last month.
You can block an entire domain, but the functionality is currently broken. It will hide entire comment sections from you if you do it.
However, based on recent posts at /m/kbinmeta it sounds like updates should start rolling out before too much longer, and I expect that will eventually be one of the the things that gets fixed.
