I hadn't experienced hexbear (literally) shitting up the place yet, has a way to block entire instances been implemented or do I gotta find a new one that isn't federated with them?
Just block a user that posted something that bothered you like a normal person.
if you're incapable of seeing perspectives outside the mainstream I hear Reddit is nice this time of year
I can tune out tankie nonsense (not accusing everyone at hexbear of being tankies, but you guys sure do hang out with a lot of them) pretty easily, it's the 20 full pages of literal pig shit I'm talking about
Hopefully they fix the emoji bug soon (or whenever they want to get around to it honestly), I find it hilarious but I can most definitely feel for those caught in the cross-fire.
We ought to be putting them behind spoiler tags in the meantime tbh.
If anything, the click-through just adds to the anticipation
What's a tankie?
I think it's someone who does a lot of nitrous oxide at Phish concerts
Of course I know a tankie it's me.
Yes I'm a tankie and I'm coming to seize all your property and put you in a gulag for re-education until you accept that Liberalism is a disease
Libs act like they live in a gulag archipelago, they're so worried about what "muh tankies" will do, despite the fact that they're all in the same picket line and a cop is gonna shoot them before they ever get close to any situation where such a philosophical disagreement would matter
Tankie nonsense is when you challenge obvious incorrect statements with proven facts and material reality, and the more lies you challenge the more Tankie you are.
Define Tankie without using Wikipedia or the word "authoritarian". (Tankies were people that supported the USSR intervention in Hungary in the 70's, being left-wing isn't being a Tankie)
uhm, if you can't handle hexbear at its tankiest, you don't deserve hexbear at its best*
*its best is also tankie if you ask liberals but nobody reasonable would ask liberals about anything
Ask for the main Lemmy (lemmy.ML) to defederate from us.
Lemmy.world is the largest instance that defedded with us, so might be worth switching if you don’t want to wait for the instance blocking feature to come out.
We’ve also defedded from Lemmy.ca and blahaj, but I wouldn’t join those ones. If you’re Canadian, maybe Lemmy.ca is better than world? I don’t know a lot about blahaj, but it doesn’t seem like a space I’d want to be in seeing how recent interactions went.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out lib
Joined lemmy.ca from Lemmy.ml. no hexbear trolls here
I'm using Connect and it provides an option to block an instance
Death to America
Yeah I was using lemm.ee but the hexbear spam in the threads was ridiculous. They were swarming the meta thread discussing defederating them too, and it seemed like the instance admin was determined to keep federating with them. Went on the hunt to join a popular instance that doesn't federate with them. There's a few out there that do block the annoying authoritarian/boot-licking trifecta of lemmygrad, explodingheads, and hexbear. Sopuli.xyz was the one I ended up joining.
Just block the main communities that pop up. Most of their shit disappears of you block like five hexbear communities and lemmygrad.
