We fought fire with fire. If you want to know the way in which your average Hexbear user conducts themselves, you just need to recall that they have their pig shit image linked to their instance for convenient use: https://hexbear.net/PPB (NSFW!)
Edit: You can also check out !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, if you want to get a glimpse at what was going on a few days ago.
Dw, I don't need a reminder of how hexbear users are. I grew tired of arguing with them and their bad faith arguments when scrolling through all and blocked all their communities I came across a week or two ago.
And I'm even very left wing. I'm just anti-authoritarian before I'm left wing. I would rather live in a right wing anti-authoritarian place than a left wing authoritarian one.
They are woke losers that is why, oh what they can call white people "crackers" , "cumskin" , "bleach-demon" and say "we should do mayocide" but can't handle a yellow bear?
It has become clear to us that even in the short while we’ve federated, the situation with sh.itholefor.nazis is entirely untenable and we will be defederating immediately. Multiple instances of ableist and homophobic slurs directed at our users, overwhelming litigiousness against even the most innocuous comments by our users, and just a general ethos of reactionary behavior. We’re done and out.
One of the concerns with embracing TC69 thought on site bans with federation is that the user would basically be just hexbear-side hidden and blocked from our comms, free to post reactionary content without the fear of Lenin behind them. That was a silly concern. We will resume our pre-federation policies regarding site bans."
