Welcome back!
Me; new here thinking "hexbear" is the furry server.... Oh...
Well I was half right
well we do have a fairly large furry comm
You know that you can block instances yourself? Like you don't have to be forced to see their stuff. I think some of y'all enjoy whinging about shit for the sake of it.
If you block an instance, you can't spend the next sixty posts complaining about the replies.
Blocks don't hide your posts from them or prevent them from responding to your comments.
And?
Seeing "there is no record of this comment" in a chain brings me sexual pleasure.
Die in your hole, person I disagree with!
Plus you still get to see the replies to the comment, usually them being dunked on by other Lemmings.
I'm fine with hex, for the most part. This is a joke, in the jokes about the fediverse community.
You know that blocking an instance does not block users from that instance?
But it blocks all posts that are posted to communities on on that instance, so it guts 90% of the shit you don't want to see. Just block users when they piss you off.
The constant posting of hatred towards other instances is just as if not more annoying to me than the dumb shit hexbear comes out with.
LPT - you don't have to give any fucks about who or what "hexbear.net" is, instead you can have a life.
Don't have a problem with what instance you're on as long as you're respectful I'll be respectful back

Oh, my sweet summer child.
I totally agree. But that instance is slightly notorious for brigading threads.
A brigade is when you're one of the oldest and most active instances and continue to use the federated website.
We just have a lot of active users. Brigading doesn't happen when the feeds show up organically.
They got like 6 people in here doing just that.
You can just admit you don't know how federation works
While fine in concept, there are certain things that shouldn't be respected, and that's where the
happensHello!
Hiii
It's about time they showed up, during trans day of visibility no less 😌
nature is healing
However will lemmy deal with dissenting or socialist comments? Oh bless my pure centrist heart!
welcome back, glorious pigposters
There is a spectre is haunting Lemmy — the spectre of hexbear . All the powers of new lemmy have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre
I'm gay
I can't believe you guys invented the gay.
Ay, same!
Pan gang here 🏳️🌈
I'm glad my feed has been pretty drab with them gone
Same, but I can't seem to get Voyager to actually do instance blocking. It has the option, but it seems to not work.
glad federation is working again!
Lol at the 4 losers who downvoted every comment somebody from hexbear made. Just block the instance if you're this mad.
hiiiiiiii
Move to an instance that defederates then, and move on? I'm not the biggest fan by any mean, but this kind of posts is just calling for some instance slapstick fights in the comments
For a list:
I get what you're saying, but this is mostly a joke.
There is some cool people there.
When Hexbear sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending other cool people. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing flamewars. They’re bringing spam. They’re brigaders. And some, I assume, are good people.
If it's a joke, that's all good. It's just that some other people don't make jokes, they try to hide instance beefing messages in some memes, and that usually just brings negativity in the comments.
If I join lemmy.ca and my country invades them will they kick my red blooded american ass out
We're against genocide so we'll spare you when the time happens.
it won't work, they defederated us and I still see their cancer here.
I just blocked the whole instance as soon as the option was implemented. There were few good posts/comunities from it, but overall better to block it whole.
Do be aware of the limitations of user blocking though.
Somehow I can't block it using Voyager, the only instance appearing is test.hexbear.net
. Any idea why?
SJW blocks them already.
I'm actually getting pissed, I have hexbear.net and test.hexbear.net both instance blocked in Voyager but can still see these cretins comments. I could tag them all but that would take forever.
Edit: Fuck it, just blocking them when I see them.
Accurate as I am Carcosa after all and you are glimpsing the truth that a better world is possible.
as I am Carcosa after all
"Capitalism is not the end!"
they've started to post, sir
finally
They finally figured out how computer works
pfft i use my phone do i look like a nerd
computer iz hard
Heavens to Betsy
Never noticed they were gone. Just checked and my instance defederated from them. All is good in the world.
Seriously.
Feels good man.
Not even your lord can save you now.
I immediately went into my Voyager settings to block the entire instance the moment I saw one of their comments. Not making the same mistake twice.
Unfortuantely, blocking an instance only blocks posts and communities from it. You will still get comments.
That's fucking lame as shit, I really appreciated when lemm.ee had them blocked.
The spectre of Communism had you spooked, lol
All my experiences with that instance and similar ones have been disgusting.
Pushing people who post burning flags of a country and posts about it to be fully wiped out are accepted... Criticism regarding this gets your comment remove and a ban from the community.
I don't need that again. Where can I block those pseudo-left pro-authoritarians instance?
And here we have a hot take from a member of the Commie Triad. 🙃
Lol, I see you commented with both your profiles ITT, and that you're a member of multiple horrible communities.
I would love to get some context on this.
You know how there is a subset of leftists that just make everything worse? Up their own ass, stupid standards/priorities, generally annoying? That's the general opinion of hexbear. I haven't really interacted with the instance much, but that's what i gather from the rumors and the occasional wild hexbear comment, but i might just be primed to notice the bad comments because of the reputation. maybe a bit of a dirtier/less stringently controlled beehaw.
Edit: although as lemmy grows chuds will bitch about them just for not being right wing.
Start here.
Hexbear.net is a Leftist instance with Communists and Anarchists. The bare minimum required is to be an anti-Capitalist of some sort there. As a consequence, some people take issue with that.
tankies
and the leftists without the ability to have critical thought AND/OR nuanced conversation.
I’m sure some of them are nice people, but they aren’t sending their best.
Pretty much all my experiences with that instance and similar ones have been disgusting.

I don't need that again. Where can I block this pseudo-left pro-authoritarian instance in Voyager?
I started writing a response to this, but it ended up exceeding Lemmy's maximum comment length, so I had to make it as a separate post. I invite you to hear my piece, though I frankly doubt you will.
With "I have different views" or "I have a reason to not like country XY and it is ...", you can achieve a conversation with someone about it. By burning flags or sending that action as emoji, you are just making sure to end the conversation as quickly as possible or to even prevent it completely.
If you take some time and ask on the streets, you will find a person who has a really good reason to hate a country and you can achieve this for all countries on the planet. And if they start to burn a flag on the streets right on front of a random person, that random person will probably think "What a f*cking idiot".
And it's quite ironic that you write a **3 pages long text **about the usage of a burning-flag-emoji and how it could be interpreted. If you want your view to be interpreted "correctly", then why posting 1 single burning flag in the first place instead of writing what you actually want to say???? It's like showing someone the middle finger and afterwards, I talk an hour with that person and explain them the long story that their dad and I once had a conflict.
No war but class war, I'm sorry your brainwashing has convinced you that your fellow peasants are the enemy.
Death to America, Death to Israel. Liberation to trans people. From the river to the sea. China is socialist. Stalin shouldn't have stopped in Berlin. Uncritical support for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in its ongoing resistance against the genocidal American empire.
Stop being such a pearl clutching liberal nerd
You’re talking about Hexbear being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist as though they are anti-semetic and wish extermination on Jewish people. No, that’s not how Hexbear is, Hexbear is neither genocidal nor anti-semetic.
You might be talking about something else, but burning a flag of say, the US, does not mean Hexbear wants to slaughter everyone in the US. It means Hexbear stands against the US State and its ruling class, same with Israel and its genocidal ruling class.
Anti-Zionism, anti-fascism, and being pro-Palestine are all 3 Leftist stances.
Anyway, to block a community, you can do it in your settings. You will still see comments from users, just not comms.
I think they are probably talking about the community being in denial of China and Russia being a dictatorship, and the fascist/authoritarian cock sucking.

No, I'm talking about people from there literally suggesting to wipe out Israel... That very innovative idea hasn't worked for the last 80 years and won't in the next 80 years. That's as intelligent as suggesting to wipe out the other side. I am not interested in that kind of content.
Well, I can totally get what you're talking about,
but instance blocking on lemmy only blocks communities and posts from a specific instance.
I'd recommend you check out an instance which defederates from hex. Like lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works and sopuli.xyz.
Thanks for the explanation.
Settings -> Filters & Blocks -> Scroll to the bottom to find "Blocked Instances".
You'll still see their comments though on other instances.
For a second I thought this was a hexbear comment.
It's probably an alt of a hexbear user, they literally wrote that "they hate Lemmy.cafe" - https://lemmy.cafe/comment/10653709
I'm ok with them existing, besides, lemmy.cafe blocks them anyway.
