SJW for blocklist, their instance has been nothing but a cesspool of bigotry, liberal ideology, and cryptofascism. Their mods are disingenuously censoring us whenever they find it convenient, for no reason in particular (i believe they have even removed your own comments). Their userbase has been rabid in their anticommunism, and some of them being just straight up nazis. Their banning is very popular. They are hated with a burning passion. Shit Just Works must go.

I also advocate blocking programming.dev, since it has been almost as violently reactionary as Shit just works. They are frequently referred to as the nazi or gamer instance. They constantly walk into our own posts to be bigoted, and then run away crying to anyone who will listen about "evil tankie censorship".

I also advocate for banning lemmy.ml and lem.ee, or anything that isn't lemmygrad and a few of the smaller communities like the star trek and pricefield one

While I don't have as much pure vitriol, the constant dunk culture and their own reactionary sectors rearing their heads, have created an unsafe atmosphere. Various users have complained about how the constant hostility is ruining this internet safe space. If Dunkers want to dunk, they can make a lemmygrad account to do so, they can fight lemmy.world there too. We don't need an atmosphere of constant arguing with bad faith liberals in every single post. An average mildly controversial post will have 400 comments, all arguments that rarely lead anywhere before mods can intervene. There will be long time users that leave because of this, dunking a few liberals who skip our constant well sourced explanations isnt worth losing them. For every hypothetical liberal we gain, a few hexbears will leave due to the unsafe atmosphere. People shouldn't walk into their safespace to constantly see reactionaries constantly reducing the arguments to worthless name calling.

We are getting to angry, this entire sight is now a bitter place, and it will never stop. We aren't supposed to be reddit, this place is supposed to be different. We'll be just fine with lemmygrad. Hexbear does not need the ultraliberals.
