These bigoted, ignorant scum will never listen to anything. They are politically illiterate infants with an allergic reaction to reading.

They have ruined a safe space cultivated and cared for, they have turned this place into a new reddit.

I had a dude in my private messages going on about how I was both mutilating myself and other children. Many more people on hexbear have had similar experiences, with these worthless ignorant scum popping in to deliver the political equivalent of a giant shit.

As your friends, comrades, and people you say you defend get slurred at, dehumanized, and harassed please ask yourself:

Is it worth it?

I have the answer, I know you know it as well:

No its not

I used to think otherwise

I was a fool

its not worth a few laughs

even if you dunk all you want, that doesn't take away the knife those people put in our backs.

These bigots, fascists, and NATO liberals are as worthless offline as they are here, why should we give them any attention. They are worth less than the dirt beneath our fingernails. Why should we poison ourselves with their influence? We don't make any room for them offline, why should we not online?

And really

How many essays have your written?

How many sources have you combed through?

How many times have you explained the most basic facts of reality?

How many attempts at good faith?

Only for them to dismiss it in their stupidity. They don't read it, they just crumble and divert back to the programming these little shits trust in more than God.

For every time there is a good faith user, there are a dozen scumbag fascists. And most of the time, the "good faith one" just reverts back to their old shit.

Do you really think losing any member of the hexbear or lemmygrad community, longtime members or not, is worth a few good dunks?

I don't believe a small chance of gaining a new user is worth alienating an entire section of the community. The vast majority of those idiots are lost causes. If they are interested, the can just make an account and ask in good faith.

Is posting a meme to "own the liberals" worth your comrades getting more trauma from bigots harassing them?

No its not.

you've had your laugh, but it should end

Ban them all, SJW, lemm.ee, lemmy, the programmer nazi edglords. Keep Lemmygrad.

Defederate from those communities. We shouldn't sacrifice our own for more clicks. For having to subject ourselves to the opinions of people thoroughly brainwashed? We aren't reddit. We came here to get away from that. I'm sick of this. We are sick of this.

End it now

Yo same, I'm more 'engaged' than I've ever been but I actually loved just being able to scroll a genuinely pleasant environment and now it's full of the most noxious fucking shitheads I've run into in years.

There are two wolves inside me

One loves having a cozy space to hang with my comrades

The other is a messy bitch who loves drama

We really need to find a way to make the gayroller-2000 real, and use it on people for bad posts

I'm coming around on the idea of the "airlock" instance where we make Hexbear 2, federate with that, and then Hexbear 2 is the one that actually federates with outsiders.

[–] flan@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's so dumb that we'd need to do that kind of shenanigans. A sane federation model would be like "click the 'federated subs' button to see federated bullshit" and it all gets automatically contained to its own area.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ngl my site defaults to "local" so I don't even see any of this shit until people link it in the dunk tank or something

if that's not the default behavior then it should be at the very least

Someone could start and run it, very easily....

You could also make account creation dependent on having an Hexbear account older than today. Adjust it down the line, but that would cut back on a lot of riff-raff

Hold up, I need to go reserve moretankiehexbe.ar
